Bells, bulls and celestial balls

In Tune鈥檚 specially curated playlist with music for bells by Mozart, Handel, Percy Grainger and Buddy Holly.

A bit of a bell theme in this specially curated playlist, from Papageno's magic bells in Mozart's Magic Flute, via Holst's The Planets and Bizet's Carmen, to a special appearance by Buddy Holly. Two arrangements by the bell-loving Percy Grainger end the sequence, including a wacky 'ramble' for brass band on a song by John Dowland.
