   INTRO: Let's talk about bells for a minute. Once upon a time,
   all the clocks had bells. Time came clanging and resonating
   across our towns and cities every hour with the sound of a bell
   from the town hall. It's almost quaint to recall in this era of
   the electronic ringtone, but we used to have real brass bells in
   every telephone in America. (I know this because I took them
   apart when I was a teenager.) All the churches had BIG bells.
   And, of course, there were sleigh bells in the winter, and we
   still had bell ringers at Christmas.
      In Asia, they had gongs, metallophones, and all kinds of
   ceremonial bells. And in Tibet, they made bells out of alloys
   of many metals, achieving rich mixtures of tone, and crystalline
   bells of amazing purity that were used as tools for meditation.
      So, what I'm saying here is that bells go way back, but the role
   they play in society had a lot to do with where and when.
   From celebratory to alarming, calming to psychoactive, 
   meditative to mundane, bells are one of the seven wonders 
   of sound and music, and we're going to feature them
   on this edition of HEARTS of SPACE.
