"The Bell" is a single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in April 1993 by Warner Music. The single features a restructured, shorter version of "The Bell", from the 1992 album ''Tubular Bells II''. ==Master of Ceremonies and Instruments== "The Bell" is the ''finale'' of section one of ''Tubular Bells II'' and features a Master of Ceremonies, who introduces the instruments. The single has many versions of "The Bell", with different MCs. They include Billy Connolly, Carlos Finaly (in Spanish), Viv ç, Otto (in English and German) and John Gordon Sinclair (live). The performer on the album was Alan Rickman, although credited as ''A strolling player''. This was due to the final voice not having been picked, when the artwork was produced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Tubular Bells II'' )〕 Some releases also include an instrumental version and remixes. The instruments introduced are, in order: grand piano, reed & pipe organ, glockenspiel, bass guitar, vocal cords, "two slightly sampled electric guitars", "the Venetian effect", "digital sound processor" and tubular bells. "The Venetian Effect" refers to a characteristic mandolin technique, a type of tremolo known as ''bisbigliando'', in which the effect of sustained notes is achieved by repetition. One of the MCs from the single releases, Viv Stanshall, had been the Master of Ceremonies for the equivalent "Finale" piece of the original 1973 ''Tubular Bells'', on which "The Bell" was based. The Connolly and Stanshall versions of the piece are available on the Warner compilation album ''The Best of Mike Oldfield: 1992–2003''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bell (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
