"The Bell" is a single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1993. The single features a restructured, shorter version of "The Bell", from the album "Tubular Bells II".

Master of Ceremonies

"The Bell" is the "finale" of section one of "Tubular Bells II" and features a Master of Ceremonies, who introduces the instruments. The single has many versions of "The Bell", with different MCs. They include "Billy Connolly", "Carlos Finaly" (in Spanish), "Viv Stanshall", "Otto" (in English and German) and John Gordon Sinclair (live). The performer on the album was Alan Rickman, although credited as "A strolling player". This was due to the final voice not having been picked, when the artwork was produced. Some releases also include an instrumental version and remixes."

The instruments introduced, in order are; grand piano, pipe organ, glockenspiel, bass guitar, vocal cords, "two slightly sampled electric guitars", "the Venetian effect", "digital sound processing" and tubular bells.
