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.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

    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.

  • Set Manual Ring ? Yes No
    Programmable Church Bell Ringer (PCBR Plus and PCBR) Users Manual Church Bell Ministry Using Technology to Glorify GOD Programmable Church Bell Ringer (PCBR Plus and PCBR) Users Manual General Description of the Programmable Church Bell Ringer The PCBR system provides weekly scheduled control of bell ringing operations at your church. Six weekly programmable Ring Times will ring your church’s bell for one minute with a selectable single or double (Dong..Dong or Ding..Dong) ring pattern that will make your bell sound like the day it was installed. An optional daily Time of Day Clock Chime can ring on the hour from 9AM to 6PM or at 9AM, 12PM, 3PM and 6PM or Noon only, or an Angelus Ring at Noon and 6PM. The PCBR’s Sermon Saver software disables the TOD Clock Chime for two hours after a Ring Time has been activated. There are no setting limitations for the six Ring Time Settings. They can activate the bell for one minute ANY time of the week, EVERY week. The PCBR Plus Box consists of a power supply, a Rabbit 2000 Embedded Computer , a 2 Line LCD Display, an atomic clock radio receiver (WWVB) and peripheral circuits that operate the solenoid mounted in the bell tower. This solenoid provides a mechanical impulse to move a bell clapper into the side of the bell. A manual remote doorbell pushbutton activates the PCBR for non scheduled rings. The LCD Display provides complete softkey prompting using the two pushbuttons on the front of the PCBR Plus Box. Accordingly, programming can be accomplished in minutes.
