- triumphant
- cinematic
Currently there are two different recordings in this master.
A mono 1954 recording that credits:
- Bronze Canon, Strasbourg, France (1761)
- Bells of Harkness Memorial Tower, Yale University
A stereo 1958 re-recording that credits:
- Bronze Canon, Douay, France (1775)
- Bells of the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon, The Riverside Church
This may need splitting if the orchestral parts were also re-recorded. But if that isn't the case, and the canons and bells were simply re-recorded for better stereo imaging then it's fine to keep these versions together.
