tintinnabulation

That poem, aptly titled “The Bells,” uses so many different words to describe the sounds made by bells that Mr. Poe evidently ran out and had to invent a new one: “tintinnabulation.”

The bells keep ringing throughout “Up 2 Me,” the third Yeat album to land this year, but each tintinnabulation seems purposeful and precise, designed to keep our ears attentive to Yeat’s dizzying mouth melodies.

Two dozen billiard balls roll on tracks, striking a series of devices that set off a tintinnabulation of bells, chimes and metallic clinks.

Even as I basked in the fortune of my life, loneliness performed its gentle tintinnabulations.

We rarely go for a local walk without encountering a shepherd and that telltale tintinnabulation of neck-bells.
