What classical music has the sound of bells ringing in it?

February 52010

Posted in classical music |

We are looking for a slow song, classical without vocal, that has bells ringing in it. Preferably chime-like bells, but ‘church-type’ bells are ok also. And please, no Christmas music! This is for a wedding.

Tubular Bells.

    Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C# Minor was given the title "The Bells of Moscow" by people in America.

    Grieg wrote a piece called "Bellringing". It is one of his Lyric Pieces for piano, and there is an orchestral version as well.

    The Great Gate of Kiev - From Mussorgsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition" (but only in Ravel’s orchestrated version: Mussorgsky wrote it for solo piano).
