Named for the blue planet, the planet we call home. The Chimes of Earth is designed and handcrafted for superior musical performance and is hand-tuned to a five-note scale found all over the world. It acts in concert with the wind to create random patterns of wonderful music and will work in perfect harmony with all other Encore Collection chimes right in your own backyard. This chime is named for the planet we call home, the third planet from the sun—just the right distance away to support life. It's the only planet whose name does not come from mythology, yet we love to create stories and songs that speak of events and people that seem otherworldly, such as Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine), originally released by the Penguins in 1954.
MUSICALLY TUNED OVER THE RAINBOW WIND CHIME. Written in 1939 by composer Harold Arlen and lyricist Yip Harburg for the movie The Wizard of Oz, Over the Rainbow was sung by Judy Garland in her starring role as Dorothy Gale. Almost cut from the film, it went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song and is now a mainstay in American culture. When you hang this chime in your home or garden you'll be reminded that "somewhere over the rainbow dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. " Measures 27-inches in overall length - total hanging length is measured from top of gather ring to bottom of windcatcher. WOODSTOCK CHIMES THE ORIGINAL MUSICALLY TUNED WIND CHIME. Tuned to beautiful melodies and scales from around the world and available in a wide range of styles, songs and sizes, you can choose the Woodstock Chime that speaks to your soul. HOW IT ALL BEGAN - Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in New York's Hudson Valley. GRAMMY® Award-winning musician Garry Kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. As a professional musician and instrument designer, he was fascinated by the Scales of Olympos, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can't be played on a modern piano. Garry had the idea to cut and tune the lawn chair chime tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The resulting Chimes of Olympos was the first Woodstock Chime and is still one of our bestselling wind chimes.
