High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sonnerie is French for "making sound" or "ring". The term generally applies to bell towers and/or bells in mechanical clocks or wristwatches (see for example grande sonnerie), but can equally be used, for example, for the sound produced by a telephone. Sonnerie watches are revered by connoisseurs for chiming the time on tiny gongs on the hour and the quarter "in passing", and require highly skilled watchmakers as they "cannot be made satisfactorily through purely industrial means." When "Sonnerie" is used as the name of a musical composition, it bears connotations of: Sounds produced by bell towers, for example Marin Marais' Sonnerie de Ste-Genevieve du Mont-de-Paris (1723), Carillon from Bizet's L'Arlesienne or Cole Porter's I Happen to Like New York - all three of which rely on a repeated three-note figure to convey the peal of church bells, funeral bells or ship bells.
