Listen "Don Morrison on "Cornwall First""
Episode Synopsis
Don Morrison is a prolific ringer and composer who learned to ring in Boston and currently rings in Pittsburgh. He'll always have a soft spot for St. John the Baptist in Peterborough (website, Dove's listing), though, as you'll hear.If you'd like to read up on composing, Don recommends:Leary, John. Handbook of Composition.Wilson, Wilfrid. Change Ringing. [scattered snippets, in surprising amount]Trollope, J. Armiger. Variation and Transposition. [possibly out of print, online at https://www.ringing.info/v-and-t.html]Longridge, John. Conducting and Coursing Order.Price, Brian. A "fistful of interesting papers" at ringing.info [most easily found by searching "Price" in-page]Chant, Harold and Giles Thompson. Method Splicing parts I and II (Minor Methods and Major Methods, respectively).Pullin, Richard. Ongoing series "Notable Composers of the Past" in Ringing World.For the truly curious, here is a listing for that first (rung) peal composition of Don's, conducted by Geoff Davies: number 22 in the list of peals rung at Groton School.Rod Pipe's series can be found in Ringing World in 1985 at pp. 636 and 1084; and in 1986 at pp. 60, 168, 232, 304, 460, 576, 642, 728, 840, 912, 1020, and 1080.We also manage to squeeze in some talk of Project Pickled Egg and the notion of "bumping up" Cornwall in the standard progression of treble-dodging methods one learns.If you'd like to see a "grab bag of things of interest to ringers to which things have been added and subtracted over the years," you're in luck: Don hosts such a resource at ringing.org!Thank you, friends.
