The Westminster Chimes (click here to listen) are the same notes first used on the clock in the University Church tower of St. Mary, Cambridge, England, and in 1859, selected for the Victoria Clock Tower in the House of Parliament in London better known as Big Ben. There, the hour is still struck on the famous old bell, "Big Ben", after the four famous phrases have been played on the smaller bells. The music was inspired by a phrase from Handel’s symphony, "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth", and the words and music were arranged by William Crotch in 1793.
