List of carillons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carillons are found on all six inhabited continents. Clockwise from the top left: The Belfry of Mons, Belgium; the National Carillon in Canberra, Australia; the Netherlands Carillon in Arlington, Virginia, US; the carillon at Vaillantsplein in Paramaribo, Suriname; the City Hall of Cape Town, South Africa; and the International YMCA in Jerusalem, Israel.

Carillons, musical instruments of bells in the percussion family, are found on every inhabited continent. The Netherlands, Belgium, and the United States contain more than two thirds of the world's total, and over 90 percent can be found in either Western Europe (mainly the Low Countries) or North America.

Criteria for inclusion

[edit]

The World Carillon Federation [nl] (WCF) defines a carillon as an instrument of at least 23 cast bronze bells hung in fixed suspension, played with a traditional keyboard of batons, and tuned in chromatic order so that they can be sounded harmoniously together. It may designate instruments of 15 to 22 bells built before 1940 as "historical carillons".[1] Its member organizations – including for example The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America,[2] the German Carillon Association,[3] and the Flemish Carillon Association[4] – also define a carillon with those restrictions. Conversely, TowerBells.org – a database of tower bells of all types – defines a "non-traditional" carillon, which is an instrument that has had some component electrified or computerized.[5] These instruments fail to meet the definitions of a carillon defined by the associations of carillonneurs mentioned above. This list contains only those carillons that meet the definition outlined by an association of carillonneurs, such as the WCF and its member organizations.

Israel

[edit]

Israel has one carillon, located at the Jerusalem International YMCA. It was installed and dedicated along with the rest of the newly constructed building in 1933. Gillett & Johnston cast the original 35 bells, the heaviest of which weighs 1,500 kilograms (3,300 lb). In 2018, Royal Eijsbouts cast a 36th bell, weighing 800 kilograms (1,800 lb), for the instrument. It is one of the only carillons in the Middle East.[8][9]

Japan

[edit]

Japan has been exposed to carillons through its relations with Belgium. Since the 1980s, Belgium has used a targeted cultural diplomacy program to expose Japanese artists and students to the carillon, and to encourage them to construct instruments in their country. The city and province of Antwerp and the city of Mechelen provided Osaka with a mobile carillon in 1984. Hasselt donated a carillon to Itami, its sister city, in 1990. Members of the Shinji Shumeikai religious movement, inspired by their trip to St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen, purchased a carillon for Shigaraki in 1990. The Japanese School of Brussels and the Royal Carillon School "Jef Denyn" established educational relations on playing and composing for the carillon.[10]

  • Itami: The Bells of Flanders – 43 bells, heaviest 375 kg (827 lb), Royal Eijsbouts 1990[11]
  • Sasebo, Nagasaki: Carillon Symphonica in the 'Huis ten Bosch' – 37 bells
  • Shigaraki: 'The Joy of Angels' at Misono, the international headquarters and spiritual centre of the Shinji Shumeikai organisation – 50 bells, heaviest unlisted, Royal Eijsbouts 1990[10]

Two Belgian carillon associations – the Flemish Carillon Association and the Walloon Carillon Association – count carillons in their respective regions. According to their registries, there are 94 carillons in Belgium: 70 in the Flemish Region, 22 in the Walloon Region, and 2 in the Brussels Capital Region. They are distributed across 77 different cities; several are located within the same city, and two are even within the same building – at St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen. The population has a wide range in total weights, with bourdons spanning between 30 and 8,180 kilograms (66 and 18,034 lb). They also span a wide range of notes, from 21 (which the Flemish association considers a carillon despite failing its definition that requires at least 23[18]) up to 64. Many carillons were constructed over several centuries by several bellfounders; a minority are constructed entirely by a single bellfounder. The majority of carillons are transposing instruments, and often transpose such that the lowest note on the keyboard is B or C.

According to the World Carillon Federation [nl], the carillons in Belgium account for 14 percent of the world's total[19] and is consequently considered one of the "great carillon countries" along with the Netherlands and the United States.[20]

British Isles

[edit]

Carillons are found throughout the British Isles as a result of the First World War. During the German occupation of Belgium, many of the country's carillons were silenced or destroyed. This news circulated among the Allied Powers, who saw it as "the brutal annihilation of a unique democratic music instrument".[21][22] The destruction was romanticized in poetry and music, particularly in England. Poets – often exaggerating reality – wrote that the Belgian carillons were in mourning and awaited to ring out on the day of the country's liberation. Edward Elgar composed a work for orchestra which includes motifs of bells and a spoken text anticipating the victory of the Belgian people.[23] He later even composed a work specifically for the carillon.[24] Following the war, countries in the Anglosphere built their own carillons to memorialise the lives lost and to promote world peace,[22] including two in England.[25]

The Carillon Society of Britain and Ireland (CSBI) counts carillons throughout the British Isles.[26] Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers, a publication that historically concerns itself with bell sets outfitted for full circle ringing, also counts carillons in the region.[27] According to the two sources, there are fifteen carillons: eight in England, one in the Republic of Ireland, one in Northern Ireland, and five in Scotland. There are no carillons in Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Jersey or Wales.[26]

The heaviest carillon is at the Kirk of St Nicholas in Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 25,846 kilograms (56,981 lb); the lightest is at the Atkinsons Building in London, weighing 3,194 kilograms (7,041 lb). The carillon of St Colman's Cathedral in Cobh has the most bells – 49. The region has several two- and three-octave carillons. The heaviest two-octave carillon in the world – weighing 22,669 kg (49,976 lb) – is located in Newcastle upon Tyne.[28] The carillons were primarily constructed in the interwar period by the English bellfounders Gillett & Johnston and John Taylor & Co.[26] Almost all of the carillons are transposing instruments, all of which transpose such that the lowest note on the keyboard is C.[26]

According to the World Carillon Federation [nl], the carillons of the British Isles account for two percent of the world's total.[29]

Germany

[edit]
Germany's heaviest carillon is in Halle (Saale) with bells weighing more than 45,000 kg (99,000 lb) in total

The German Carillon Association counts carillons throughout Germany, and according to the organization, there are 49 in total.[59] They are distributed across 41 cities; in four of them – Berlin, Bonn, Cologne, and Hamburg – there are more than one. The population has a wide range in total weights, with bourdons spanning from 20 kilograms (44 lb) in Altenburg[60] and Schwerin[61] to 8,056 kilograms (17,760 lb) in Halle (Saale).[62] They also span a wide range of notes, from 23 in Bonn[63] and Lößnitz[64] up to 76 in Halle (Saale).[62] The carillons were all exclusively constructed after 1900 by a mix of bellfounders, many of them German. The majority of carillons are transposing instruments, and often transpose such that the lowest note on the keyboard is B or C. There are also two mobile carillons, which were constructed and are owned by two German bellfounders: Perner [de] and Sandkuhl.[59]

According to the World Carillon Federation [nl], the carillons of Germany account for seven percent of the world's total.[65]

Carillons are found in Australia and New Zealand as a result of the First World War. During the German occupation of Belgium, many of the country's carillons were silenced or destroyed. This news circulated among the Allied Powers, who saw it as "the brutal annihilation of a unique democratic music instrument".[164][165] The destruction was romanticized in poetry and music, particularly in England. Poets – often exaggerating reality – wrote that the Belgian carillons were in mourning and awaited to ring out on the day of the country's liberation. Edward Elgar composed a work for orchestra which includes motifs of bells and a spoken text anticipating the victory of the Belgian people.[166] He later even composed a work specifically for the carillon.[167] Following the war, countries in the Anglosphere built their own carillons to memorialise the lives lost and to promote world peace,[165] including two in Australia and one in New Zealand.[168][169]

The World Carillon Federation [nl] and the Carillon Society of Australia counts carillons throughout Australia and New Zealand. According to the two sources, there are four carillons: three in Australia and one in New Zealand.[170][171] The largest and heaviest carillon is the National War Memorial Carillon in Wellington, New Zealand, weighing 70,620 kilograms (155,690 lb).[172] The carillons were primarily constructed in the interwar period by the English bellfounders John Taylor & Co, Gillett & Johnston, and Whitechapel. Almost all of the carillons are transposing instruments.[170][171]

According to the World Carillon Federation, the carillons in Australia and New Zealand account for less than one per cent of the world's total.[170]

Traveling carillons

[edit]

Traveling or mobile carillons are those which are not housed in a tower. Instead, the bells and keyboard are installed on a frame that allow it to be transported. These carillons are often constructed by bellfounders for advertising purposes, though several exist solely to perform across the world. According to a count by the World Carillon Federation, there are 18 existing mobile carillons headquartered in 11 countries.[179]
