Ringing for Healing:
For All Victims of Violence All Over the World
By Pauline Oliveros
commissioned & produced
by RingOut, Inc.
(Score follows icons & links, below)
You are invited to create a peaceful event using bells as your voice. Please be a listening presence. If it is necessary to speak, please do it very quietly without distracting others during the performance. You are invited to help create a peaceful and respectful atmosphere for a memorial. This is a memorial for all those killed by violence around the world. Many will desire to use the time meditatively.
During the ringing, the Bellwethers will keep track of the score. Follow their lead. It is OK if you want to stop or rest or give your bell to another.
Part I: 2,749 Rings Slow, like a pile driver. As you listen to each pulse of your bell, you are invited to send healing through the sound of your bell to all who have been victims of world violence, as well as the 9/11 victims. Try to pulse your bell like a heart beat. Listen to stay together with all others to create one heart beat. |
