The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey

Water chimes are used throughout “The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey” from the album *Mingus* (1979) by Joni Mitchell. Listen for them at the end of phrases.

Mighty Ocean

Water chimes are used as texture in this clip from the Brothers’ song, “Mighty Ocean” (1973). Also, jump to 34:20 to hear them with other instruments, repeatedly playing a downbeat.

Batman Returns

In *Batman Returns* (1992), composed by Danny Elfman, a single descending water chime toll underlines a surreal, macabre feel.

Duel

In the soundtrack to *Duel* (1971) by Billy Goldenberg, the water chimes play a haunting role; listen for the bending metallic sound used in the foreground and then the background.
