COMMENTARY
2. Huge sound, drowns out all other sounds around. This bell occupies one tower; the rest (6 bells) occupy the other. Salvator Mundi is equal in weight (14,000 kg.) to the others combined.
3. Almost complete, except for first one or two attacks. Recorded from middle of square, amidst the sounds of people milling about the square, before forming the procession.
4. Unusual soundscape with priest's voice amplified and reverberant outside and many people's footsteps and voices in foreground.
