6 near-misses, Queens, Double Whittingtons, Back Rounds (on 11 and 12!)
The Bristol comprises Roddy Horton's six most musical courses.
Change from Bristol to Stedman occurs at the treble snap after the call Wrong,
to the 3rd change of a Slow Six.
Change from Stedman to Bristol occurs at the 2nd change of a Slow Six,
which becomes the Bristol lead-head.
Note from Roddy
It is not possible to ring exactly 11 leads of Bristol between the Stedman
as the Bristol must finish with a call at Wrong, putting the tenor into 11ths!
However, 2 changes later the tenor is in 12ths resulting in 530 changes of
Bristol between the Stedman.
The courses of Bristol selected (in the order that they are rung)
are as follows:
1234567890et
123456tE0987
190Et2345678
1645237890Et
164523tE0987
1243658709Et
We attempted this with Lucy calling it and a local band at St Martin in the
Fields around 2002. Sadly 2 bells went over in the last course but there
was some stunning music.
This composition is included here because whilst Lucy did all the clever bits
in composing the Stedman, the original idea of using full courses of Bristol
was mine.
