DE GRAEFF MINISTER OF THE NETHERLANDS TO THE UNITED STATES WHOSE ABILITY, COURTESY AND UNDERSTANDING ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING THE OLD WORLD BETTER KNOWN TO THE NEW VOORSLAG IGH tower clocks in the Low Coun­ tries play a tune just before the hour H strikes to anticipate and call attention to the message of the great bell about to sound. This tune is short and is called a voorslag. So likewise there will be here but a brief prelude. In accepting for publication my first book, "Carillons of Belgium and Holland," in 1914, John Lane of London said he thought I might have searched the whole world over and not have found a subject likely to be of general in­ terest upon which a book had not already been written. This opinion sustained the declara­ tion, two years earlier, of the Assistant Keeper in the British Museum, who wrote me, "I know of no work on carillons." It was indeed these words that satisfied me there was need of an­ other book in the world. Later, I ventured upon a second book, "The Carillon in Literature," and since then in pages of the National Geographic Magazine, the Mu­ sical Quarterly, Art and Archeology, and else- Vlll VOORSLAG where, I have told other parts of the fascinating story of Singing Tower music. What is brought together in this more ex­ tended volume is the result of continued explora­ tion in many old towns in Europe and in newer cities in America, and of study in libraries of the United States and in those of Antwerp, Brus­ sels, the Hague, and Amsterdam, and in the Bibliotheque N ationale of Paris. Still more, I think, it has come from fortunate acquaintance with men of lands other than our own who, sharing my admiration and affection for the people of the Low Countries, have co-operated in my endeavour to assemble in order, scattered and often obscure facts concerning the origin and history of a unique racial music. My thanks for assistance are particularly due to Mr. A. J. F. van Laer, State Archivist, Al­ bany; to Mr. Frederick Rocke, Organist, Choir­ master, and Carillonneur at St. Peter's Church, Morristown; to Mr. F. C. Mayer, Carillon­ Architect, and Organist and Choirmaster at the United States Military Academy, West Point; to Professor H. S. van Klooster of the Rensse­ laer Polytechnic Institute, Troy; to Mr. W. W. Starmer, Professor of Campanology in the Uni- VOORSLAG IX versity of Birmingham; to Dr. G. van Doors­ laer, Carillon-Historian, Mechlin; and to the pre-eminent carillonneur of the world, Mr. Josef Denyn. Above all I continue under obligation to Mr. Prosper Verheyden of Antwerp, Secretary of the Mechlin Carillon School of Instruction. Not only has he always been most kind in giving me the benefit of his valuable general conclu­ sions, based upon information accumulated through many years, but also he has put at my service unusual special material obtained in his recent journey in French Flanders. The courtesy of Charles Scribner's Sons of New York in permitting the quotation of the stanzas of Alice Meynell, of Jonathan Cape Limited of London in giving me the privilege of using some verses of Wilfrid Thorley, and of Houghton, Miffiin and Company of Boston in allowing the reprinting of Longfellow's ((Belfry of Bruges," is gratefully acknowledged. "The secret-which is also the reward-of all study lies in the passion for the search," says Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. Certainly I have found carillon exploration, if not a passion, at least a stimulating avocation-one, however, which has x VOORSLAG required many hours of research at home and has absorbed no small part of several brief vaca­ tions abroad. Yet I am abundantly rewarded in the belief that thus·there has been developed in the English-speaking world, especially in Amer­ ica, an active comprehension of a noble com­ munity music. This music, assuredly, will more and more give joy and inspiration to multitudes of young and old, and will aid in promoting a democratic unity of spirit in our modern mu­ nicipal life. Travellers from other lands return again and again to the Low Countries, attracted by pic­ turesque scenes of market-place and busy har­ bour~ of city hall and church tower, of quiet canal and lush field, but only when the music of the Singing Tower is heard over all does the charm become complete.

  • Church Bells. Part 1. Rev. Robert Eaton Batty
    CHURCH BELLS BY THE REV. ROBERT EATON BATTY, M.A. The Church Bell — what a variety of associations does it kindle up — how closely is it connected with the most cherished interests of mankind! And not only have we ourselves an interest in it, but it must have been equally interesting to those who were before us, and will pro- bably be so to those who are yet to come. It is the Churchman's constant companion — at its call he first enters the Church, then goes to the Daily Liturgy, to his Con- firmation, and his first Communion. Is he married? — the Church bells have greeted him with a merry peal — has he passed to his rest? — the Church bells have tolled out their final note. From a very early period there must have been some contrivance, whereby the people might know when to assemble themselves together, but some centuries must have passed before bells were invented for a religious purpose. Trumpets preceded bells. The great Day of Atonement amongst the Jews was ushered in with the sound of the trumpet; and Holy Writ has stamped a solemn and lasting character upon this instrument, when it informs us that "The Trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised." The Prophet Hosea was com- manded to "blow the cornet in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah;" and Joel was ordered to "blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm." The cornet and trumpet seem to be identical, as in the Septuagint both places are expressed by σαλπισατε σαλπιγγι.

  • Joanne Droppers Collection Biography Joanne Was Born In
    Joanne Droppers Collection Biography Joanne was born in Ithaca, NY, on March, 29, 1932, the youngest child of Walter C. and Minnie W. Muenscher. She graduated from Cornell University in 1953 with a bachelor’s degree in music. It was at Cornell that she met and dated Garrett Droppers, who sang in the choir she directed. They were married in August 1953. She originally came to Alfred in 1961, when Garrett was appointed a professor of history at Alfred University. The couple had lived in Madison, WI, and Orono, ME, before settling in Alfred. In addition to being a housewife and mother to their three children, Joanne was employed periodically as an administrative assistant. Joanne loved playing piano and singing with her family. She was organist for several Episcopal congregations, a hand bell ringer, and played violin in local community orchestras. In 1976, she became a member of the American Guild of Carillonneurs and in 1977 she was appointed carillonneur for Alfred University, a position she held for 17 years. As Alfred University carillonneur, Joanne toured the United States and Canada, performing on many North American carillons. She also composed and arranged a number of songs for carillon, including Bach’s Suite #11 for Lute and Tubular Bells. One of her favorite tunes was the Oscar Meyer Weiner jingle, which she arranged for carillon and played at Alfred’s annual Hot Dog Day celebration. Garrett Droppers predeceased Joanne in 1986, and after her retirement in 1994, she moved to Arlington, VA, to be near her grandsons. While in Virginia, she continued her musical pursuits by playing carillons in the area.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 1 THE EARLY HISTORY OF BELLS 3 BELL FOUNDING 4 BELL TUNING 7 THE EARLY HISTORY OF CAMPANILES 16 METHODS OF PLAYING THE CARILLON 19 THE PROPOSED CAMPANILE 25 The Site 25 Designing the Campanile 27 The Proposed Campanile as Submitted By the Author 37 A Model of the Proposed Campanile 44 SUMMARY '47 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 54 LITERATURE CITED 54 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.
