For those who don’t know UK hotels:

Breakfast is INCLUDED in your room cost. Also, DON’T bring any alcohol into the hotel.  British hotels aren’t that keen on you bringing food in either, except in the case of particular dietary needs.

The hotel has a very nice Leisure Centre, complimentary to residents, which contains a heated (indoor) pool, spa bath, sauna, steam room, and exercise equipment.

12-Tone Technique bases the melodies and harmonies of a piece
on an ordering of the 12 notes of the chromatic scale.
The 12 tones of an octave are not centered around any single tone,
but are united by the composer's selected order of tones for a given composition.
This technique represented a clear break with the harmonic formulas of music
that had been developed during the 18th and 19th centuries.
