Notes
Published in the RW 1948, and then in the new Grandsire book by Trollope very soon afterwards. The part ends are cyclic and near-cyclic, the 12 parts dividing into an exact 3-part based on the three in-course rotations of rounds. This is quite likely the earliest peal to use this group of 12 part ends (group 6.14 in Price's paper: http://www.ringing.info/bdp/peals-in-parts/parts-2.html) Price - who was about 23 when he composed this - was a brilliant mathematician and expert on group theory, and must have realized that this group had likely not been used before in a composition, being a group formed of smaller subgroups and therefore less obvious to composers. Though he went on to use computers in composition, it seems likely that this earlier peal was produced by hand. Later on he composed peals of Stedman Triples on a similar idea, which match this one in their aesthetic appeal. The 3-part peal of Grandsire by Price with Tittums and Queens part ends is actually a rotation of this one
