tintinnabulation \tin-tih-nab-yuh-LAY-shuhn\, noun:
Pronunciation: http://0rz.tw/864Mr
A tinkling sound, as of a bell or bells.
One found oneself immersed in the infinitely nuanced
tintinnabulations of clapping cymbal rhythms passed from one
player to the next, in the barely audible, rain-like patter
of drums that suddenly grew into an overwhelming mechanical
onslaught.
-- Tim Page, "From Japan, The Thundering Drums of Kodo",
Newsday, February 24, 1995
Tintinnabulation derives from Latin tintinnabulum "a bell," from
tintinnare from tinnire, "to jingle."
