font-family:Arial'>Six bell ringing has continued to flourish over the past ten
years. It has been a marvellous decade. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The tendency has been towards multi-method peals, and
compositions have been longer, leaner and neater than ever before. The
liberalisation of the so-called “decisions” - removing the
straightjacket of peals needing to consist of mutually true extents – has
continued to be a driving force for progress in spliced minor.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Building on compositional breakthroughs in the previous decade
(where ringing the 41 “regular” surprise minor methods in a peal
became considerably easier), the splices between different methods have now
been exploited much more fully, and expanded beyond just surprise methods. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>A potent combination of formidable composers, principally <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">Richard Smith</st1:PersonName> and John Warboys, being chased (and
sometimes directed) by a hungry pack of dogs eager to ring as soon as possible
the slabs of compositional meat they tossed down, has created a perfect
creative storm.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Michael Foulds published his series of books on spliced
treble-dodging minor in 2002, and these have acted as a catalyst for some of
the compositional advances also.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In parallel to this, an entirely new form of splicing minor –
“magic blocks” - sprang up at the beginning of the decade, facilitating
the simultaneous splicing of over- and under- works together much more
efficiently.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Consequently, the boundaries of minor ringing have been
pushed back, and previously where ringing the 41-spliced brought some closure,
now all 147-regular treble-dodging minor (or even all 729 grids) is the new baseline.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Whilst the majority of effort has been directed towards
treble-dodging minor methods, there remains much that is going on. Innovative
new extents on other plans have resulted, as we shall see.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>John subsequently produced a “tour-de-force”
10-extent composition (obviously not atw) of the 147 in 2005: <<a
href="http://website.lineone.net/~jswcomps/147_7200.pdf">http://website.lineone.net/~jswcomps/147_7200.pdf</a>>.
This was rung first in tower, on 24<sup>th</sup> July. The band was kept
somewhat in the dark about the structure of the composition, as the composer
was fearful it might leak out and be rung in hand first. He probably had good
reason – following its publication on 25<sup>th</sup> July, Andrew
Tibbetts called a handbell peal of it the very next day. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Philip Saddleton conceived the idea for “magic
blocks” of minor, whereby the established concept of a 6-lead spliced is
extended to every working bell, and for both over- and under- works, to produce
extents without calls. <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Richard Smith</st1:PersonName>
explains more fully here: <<a

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Philip actually communicated the idea by email to Roger
Bailey in December 2000, but Roger’s lack of response left the idea
un-tapped until I learnt of it following a chance exchange with Philip a few
years later. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The idea quickly took off in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Cambridge</st1:City></st1:place>, and the first of many minor peals
consisting of magic blocks was rung in December 2003. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The concept was developed to fit in more grids, with
contributions from <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Richard Smith</st1:PersonName>,
Andrew Tibbetts and David Pipe. A natural conclusion was fitting all 729
“regular” grids into as short a peal as possible – this was
done in 19440 changes in January 2005, followed later that year by a
1053-method peal (incorporating methods with -1256- when the treble dodges in
3-4).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Perhaps the zenith of method-packing efficiency came in
August 2004, when <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Richard Smith</st1:PersonName>
produced a 7-extent composition of all 324 grid combinations with -12- when the
treble dodges in 3-4. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

peals of spliced minor is that methods with the same overwork are often grouped

minor composing with an incredibly beautiful 42-spliced 5040 in complete whole

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>However, at the very beginning of
this decade, Richard composed a notable peal of 21 methods from the Standard 41.
It is extremely fluid, with a change of method every lead, but within this
there is also a change of overwork at every lead. In Richard’s words,
“there are at least half-a-dozen changes from any one backwork to any
other backwork”.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

all-the-work, and with an exactly equal method balance. Like many of
Richard’s compositions, it contains no 65s at backstroke, which some
people still seem to aim for.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
