The most common tune played by clock chimes, in both in Real Life and fiction, is the one known as Westminster Quarters note That is, unless you are a hardcore bell enthusiast, in which case you are quite likely to insist they are actually the Cambridge quarters. Funnily enough, although the tunes are most famously associated with what is now called the Elizabeth Tower in the Westminster Palace, they were not devised for the bells there, but for the bells of the Great St Mary's church in the university city of Cambridge roughly a century before the present bell tower in Westminster was built . The tune is constructed from five different sequences combining four pitches. Not all five are played at once: even at the full hour, only the last four are used, followed by between one and twelve strokes on a deeper bell. The most popular of these sequences would seem to be the fourth (mi, do, re, so) and fifth (so, re, mi, do). (These are also played at third quarter, followed by the first.) Therefore, the most commonly heard in fiction are the fourth and fifth sequences, or the fourth alone, often repeated for effect in either case. Japanese school bells often sound like this, to the point where it's a stock sound effect in high school anime. A somewhat common variant is to use only the fourth sequence, but with the first note raised a half step so that the first two notes make a falling fourth rather than a falling major third. In this augmented variation, the tonic is usually transposed to the first note from the second (i.e. do, sol, la, re rather than fa, do, re, sol). Though it is a Regional Riff to establish you're in the U.K., if it is used in any work set in 2017-2020 (except Remembrance Sunday and New Year's Day) then its use is inaccurate — Big Ben was "turned off" for these years. |

Orson and Olivia: The theme tune starts with the Westminster chimes, complete with the establishing shot of the Westminster tower. The chimes are also heard at the beginning of the first episode with shots of London and its roof. Used as Regional Riff because the story is set in Victorian London. | |

Pikmin: Similarly to how the chime plays at the end of a school day in Japan, the sunset in the games is marked with the Westminster chimes. The fourth note is higher than normal, however. | |

Incorporated in the score for Mary Poppins, during the rooftop scene, between orchestral reprises of "Spoonful of Sugar" and "Feed the Birds". | |

The intro of Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling's "The Chimes Of Big Ben". Which makes sense because the song is inspired by the Prisoner episode of the same name. | |

Ciaphas Cain makes a reference to the ancient tune in The Emperor's Finest, saying of a techpriest that the universe not only ran like clockwork for him, but chimed the first few bars of 'Throne Eternal' on the hour. The words fit the best-known Chimes sequence quite well. | |
