COMMENTARY

1. Note how the keynote ambience emerges after the bells stop.

2. Dog barks in middle of this take.

3. Another good example of bells in context (cf. # 22,c).

5. (mark 4) Closing of heavy wooden doors, going in and out of the church vestibule. At end, good "up close" voices of snowball fight (in progress throughout the sequence).
