The ringing of bells signaled not only the time of day but also the start of civic and spiritual events: a call to prayer, the arrival of visitors, a warning such as the outbreak of a fire. From the beginning of the sixteenth century, bellringers in Flanders and neighboring areas (today Belgium and The Netherlands) began to add the playing of melodies, using a baton keyboard, and thus the carillon that we know today was born. In the early twentieth century, as technical keyboard innovations began to allow for the expression of Medical touch, the carillon started developing as a concert instrument. Today’s carillonneurs perform all kinds of Campus Parking B music on the bells, to the delight of listeners: classical arrangements, jazz standards, pop tunes, folk songs, film music, and original compositions. And now we are heralding a new era during which music is being written especially for the carillon, and prolifically. Every piece of carillon music played at this weekend festival here at Rockefeller Chapel has been written in the twenty-first century, some 95% of it within the past five years, representing an extraordinary outpouring of new music for bells. Rockefeller Chapel regularly commissions the composition of new music—choral, organ, or carillon—and University carillonneur Joey Brink works with composers both here at the University of Chicago and worldwide to add to the rapidly flowing stream of new carillon repertoire. This weekend, we hear sixteen world premières performed, including six works commissioned by Rockefeller Chapel for the festival, six invited from new composers at the University of Chicago (including graduate students in music composition), and four commissioned or invited by the festival’s guest performers. A number of the compositions on this weekend’s program are labeled electroacoustic, calling for the use of electronics or amplified instruments alongside the bells. There are four massive speakers situated amongst the bells that are used both to amplify other instruments and to add electronic sounds, whether prerecorded or processed live. The speakers are not used to amplify the bells, and are not used at all on any piece that is not labeled electroacoustic. Festival devised and produced by Elizabeth Davenport E. 58TH and Joey Brink.

The authors hosted a con- cert for Tsar bell and Carillon with the generous support of Meyer Sound and a University of Michigan bicentennial grant. In the concert, the simulated Tsar bell was triggered by the keyboard and perceptually fused with the bourdon of the Baird Carillon on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1735 Empress Anna Ivanovna commissioned the giant Tsar Kolokol bell. The bell was cast in an excavated pit then raised into scaffolding for the cooling and engraving process. When the supporting wooden structure caught fire, the bell was doused with water causing the metal to crack.

  • The World Famous Bells (Myanmar and Russia) Swe Swe Aung1
    Dagon University Commemoration of 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee Research Journal Volume 9,No.1 151 The World Famous Bells (Myanmar and Russia) Swe Swe Aung1 Abstract The World‟s largest bell is the Tsar Bell III (Tsar-Kolokol) in Moscow. It is called Tsar Kolokol „III‟ because it was cast three times, and more metal was added cash time. It is a tower bell and made of bronze. The bell is the largest bell in the world, weighing 201,924 kilograms with a heigh of 6.14 meters and diameter of 6.6 meters and thickness of up to 61 centimeters. It is a master piece of 18th century Russian casting technology. The Mingun Bell is a bell located in Mingun, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. Mingun is well known for its huge 90 ton Mingun Bell, the world‟s largest uncracked and ringing Bell. Introduction The history of Russian bell goes back to the 10th century, but in the medieval Russian Orthodox Church, bells, were not typically rung to indicate Church service, but to announce important ceremonies, celebrations and as an alarm in case of fire or enemy attack. One of the largest of the early bells was the original Tsar bell, casted in the 16th century. However, Tsar Bellwas created second time in AD 170, and Tsar Bell was again destroyed by a fire. In AD 1735,Tsar Bellwas castedthird time. Tsarina Anna I ordered that the pieces be casted into a new bell with its weight increased by another hundred tons. So the Tsar Bell III (Russia) is the largest bell in the world, weighing 201,924 Kilograms.

  • St Luke's Farnworth BELL CASTING
    St Luke’s Farnworth BELL CASTING by Geoffrey Poole In the earliest days they were cast in different sizes to produce different notes but no attempt was made to tune bells until the 16th Century with the advent of change ringing. In those times bells were roughly tuned – where the inside of the bell or the edge of the lip was chipped away with a hammer and chisel – eight bells could be tuned to an octave of eight notes. Some deprived communities used a hagiosideron, a shaped piece of metal which was struck in a similar way to a bell. Also again due to lack of money bellcotes were used instead of costly towers. A bell-cot, bell-cote or bellcote is a small framework and shelter for one or more bells. Bellcotes are most common in church architecture but are also seen on institutions such as schools. The bellcote may be carried on brackets projecting from a wall or built on the roof of chapels or churches that have no towers. The bellcote often holds the Sanctus bell that is rung at the consecration of the Eucharist. Bellcote is a compound noun of the words bell and cot or cote. Bell is self-explanatory. The word cot or cote is Old English, from the Germanic. It means a shelter of some kind, especially for birds or animals (see dovecote), a shed, or stall. Examples of bellcotes In order St Luke’s Farnworth Bell-cot at St Edmund's Church, Church Road, Wootton, Isle of Wight, England Church of England parish church of St Alban the Martyr, CharlesStreet, Oxford.

  • Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Announces Augusta Read Thomas As Newest Commissioned Composer, Work to Premiere in 2022
    Indianapolis Symphonic Choir announces Augusta Read Thomas as newest commissioned composer, work to premiere in 2022 Choir’s dedicated commitment to commissioned work underscores ongoing support and recognition of the world’s top living composers INDIANAPOLIS (May 12, 2020) – One of the nation’s oldest and most established symphonic choruses, the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir announces renowned composer Augusta Read Thomas as its newest commissioned composer, with plans to premiere her work for chorus and orchestra in spring 2022. The announcement marks the third major commission for the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir in 18 years, following Kyle Gann’s “Transcendental Sonnets” in 2002, and Mohammed Fairouz’s “Zabur” in 2014, which the Choir subsequently performed at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall and recorded via Naxos Records. A three-year process, the plans for a commissioned composer have long been a part of the organization’s strategic planning and fundraising efforts, made possible in part by the generosity of the Lilly Endowment and the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation. Early on, following discussion with leading professionals in the choral world including conductors, directors and music professors from many of the country’s leading musical institutions, the Choir focused on plans to engage a female composer in recognition of the significant yet still too infrequently heard work among this growing group of individuals. “I am incredibly honored and excited to have the opportunity to present a new work by much-heralded composer Augusta Read Thomas,” said Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Artistic Director Eric Stark. “We are very proud to be partnering with a composer of worldwide stature, recognized depth and boundless promise, who has written works for the Chicago and Boston symphonies, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra and the Washington Choral Arts Society.
