Instruments, perhaps sounding very little like a bell, repeat apassage which might well be executed by a peal of bells. Thememory of the audience does the rest. Such is the Carillon move-ment in Bizets 1st Suite, LArlesienne. It is founded on the continualbell-like reiteration of the three notes, Gift, E, F#.
