Japanese tourists are fond of this instrument and two of the world’s most famous carillon- neurs come from Antwerp and are playing now carillon also abroad, one in St. Petersburg and one in Lake Wales, Florida. The carillon is an instrument of the world and thus it feels like the world of the carillon is coming home in our city. The city of Antwerp is greatly honored to host the World Carillon Congress 2014. Our city has a fascinating carillon history, which goes back to the end of the 15th century.

  • A New History of the Carillon
    A New History of the Carillon TIFFANY K. NG Rombouts, Luc. Singing Bronze: A History of Carillon Music. Translated by Com- municationwise. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2014, 368 pp. HE CARILLON IS HIDDEN IN plain sight: the instrument and its players cannot be found performing in concert halls, yet while carillonneurs and Tkeyboards are invisible, their towers provide a musical soundscape and focal point for over six hundred cities, neighborhoods, campuses, and parks in Europe, North America, and beyond. The carillon, a keyboard instrument of at least two octaves of precisely tuned bronze bells, played from a mechanical- action keyboard and pedalboard, and usually concealed in a tower, has not received a comprehensive historical treatment since André Lehr’s The Art of the Carillon in the Low Countries (1991). A Dutch bellfounder and campanologist, Lehr contributed a positivist history that was far-ranging and thorough. In 1998, Alain Corbin’s important study Village Bells: Sound and Meaning in the Nineteenth-Century French Countryside (translated from the 1994 French original) approached the broader field of campanology as a history of the senses.1 Belgian carillonneur and musicologist Luc Rombouts has now compiled his extensive knowledge of carillon history in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United States, as well as of less visible carillon cultures from Curaçao to Japan, into Singing Bronze: A History of Carillon Music, the most valuable scholarly account of the instrument to date. Rombouts’s original Dutch book, Zingend Brons (Leuven: Davidsfonds, 2010), is the more comprehensive version of the two, directed at a general readership in the Low Countries familiar with carillon music, and at carillonneurs and music scholars.

    XIX WORLD CARILLON CONGRESS Congress: Barcelona, 1 - 5 July Post-Congress: Tarragona, Lleida’s Lands and Montserrat, 6 - 8 July As president of Catalonia, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the XIX World Carillon Congress 2017 held in Barcelona at the Palau de la Generalitat, the seat of the Catalan government that I preside. I am convinced that the historical background of the Palau de la Generalitat and its magnificent carillon will give an excellent platform to this congress for enjoying the incomparable sound of the carillon and to delve into the music and the culture that surrounds the carillon in general. We are a small country of only seven and a half million people, but with great strengths in fields such as culture, research and innovation, knowledge, talent, entrepreneurship and economic development. We believe to have a potential equal to that of the advanced countries of Europe, which makes us attractive in the eyes of the world. We are also a country open and welcoming. And we want to share with you our values, our virtues, our desires, our way of life and our understanding to the world. I wish you a very good congress and hope you enjoy our country. We will do our best to make you feel at home! Carles Puigdemont i Casamajó President of the Generalitat de Catalunya The Confraria de Campaners i Carillonistes de Catalunya welcomes you to this congress, that we have prepared with great enthusiasm, in the hope that you will all enjoy the variety of the congress program. From July 1 to July 5, Barcelona will host the congress and from July 6 to July 8 the post-congress will take us for a discovery of the city of Tarragona, the region of Lleida and the monastery of Montserrat.

  • 28 Juni Tem 30 Augustus 2021 Voorwoord
    Kortrijk TOREN MUZIEK 28 juni tem 30 augustus 2021 Voorwoord Beste Kortrijkzaan, Beste bezoeker van onze stad, Tijdens de zomermaanden organiseren we voor de 36ste keer Torenmuziek. Elke maandagavond brengen topbeiaardiers een zomerrecital op de beiaard van het belfort of van de Sint-Maartenstoren. Omwille van de pandemie is het niet mogelijk om veel buitenlandse beiaardiers in het programma op te nemen. Toch slaagde de stadsbeiaardier, Koen Cosaert, er weer in om een boeiend en gevarieerd programma samen te stellen. De eerste vier concerten worden op de beiaard van de Halletoren gespeeld. De aftrap wordt gegeven op 28 juni met een Fringe-concert door de jonge Amerikaanse Simone Browne uit Virigina (USA), die net afstudeerde aan de Koninklijke Beiaardschool te Mechelen. Naar aanleiding van de feestweek rond de Vlaamse feestdag vrolijkt stadsbeiaardier Koen Cosaert op 5 juli de wekelijkse maandagmarkt op. Diezelfde avond nog verwelkomen we op de halletoren Jasper Depraetere, een jong talent uit Lier. Een week later speelt Koen Cosaert een programma met muziek van onder meer Matthias Vanden Gheyn, Leuvens beiaardier en componist die 300 jaar geleden geboren werd. Op maandag 19 juli verhuizen de beiaardconcerten naar de historische beiaard van de Sint-Maartenstoren. Het publiek luistert dan op het stemmige Vandaleplein en het Sint-Maartenskerkhof. Als eerste speelt Carson Landry uit Florida (USA), die net als Simone Browne net afstudeerde aan de Koninklijke Beiaardschool met als leraar stadsbeiaardier Koen Cosaert. Tijdens de drie daaropvolgende maandagen spelen telkens gerenommeerde Vlaamse stadsbeiaardiers: Ludo Geloen uit Ieper, Luc Dockx uit Hoogstraten en Jean-Pierre Hautekiet uit Oostende. Op 16 augustus speelt de jongste beiaardier van Vlaanderen.
