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.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Laguardia Bell Tower Carillon
    The LaGuardia Bell Tower Carillon By Frank Angel Although the LaGuardia Tower has housed a carillon from the very first days it opened its doors, details about the original carillon are sketchy at best. About the only thing we know is that is was a manual operation with the bells struck by hand. A carillonneur had to go up to the tower and manually strike the bells. There is no record of who manufactured it or any details of the original design or how many bells were used. Only a cork-covered "sounding" room which housed the system and a few rusted tubular bells are all that remain of that first instrument which indicate that it may only have been able to play the simple Westminster, four note melody. How it was played, how often or by whom, remains a mystery. The first automated carillon capable of playing a double octave of notes and full melodies on campus was installed circa 1959 in the LaGuardia Tower by the Schulmerich Carillon Company of Pennsylvania. It consisted of eight tuned sounding rods which struck the familiar Westminster melody sequence on the quarter hours as well as striking the hour. The entire clockworks were driven by electro-mechanical components -- a mass of metal rods, pins, relays and motors. Except for the occasional mechanical failure, it was used on a daily basis for nearly twenty years. In 1986, the 17-year- old Schulmerich instrument broke down beyond repair. The carillon and the LaGuardia Tower with its blue-lighted belfry and amber turret lights had long become a cherished fixture of campus life, while the LaGuardia Tower and gold Dome had become the very symbol of Brooklyn College.

It is especially necessary since this art and work is not well known, so that no one can practice it who is not, so to speak, born to it, or who does not have much talent and good judgment. For this reason and also because it is closely related to sculpture, whose arms are the support of its life, it is very highly esteemed… it is a profitable and skilful art and in large part delightful. [BIRINGUCCIO, IN PIROTECHNIA, 1540] Introduction The history of metal casting is the history of metal- lurgy. Metals produced in a furnace are melted and cast to form useful objects, whether a piece of jewelry, an agri- cultural tool, or a weapon. Objects made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, brass, tin, lead, and iron conserved in museums are a testimony to the cleverness of the ancient metal workers.

  • Church Bells
    Church bells By Trevor Barnes Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 The “Big Ben Brexit bongs” proposed for 31 January, 2020, to signal Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, erupted in controversy. The debate became more animated still when it was suggested that bells be rung in parallel in churches throughout the land to mark what has been a highly divisive moment in history. The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, approached for comment, remained aloof from the debate, maintaining that while there were historical precedents for such a proposal (the centenary of the Great War armistice, say, or other great occasions of church and state) it could not endorse bell-ringing for political reasons. Individual churches, it added, had discretion to ring bells on such occasions but these would be on a “case by case” basis. A neutral by-product of the debates, however, was to focus attention on the enormous symbolic significance of church bells in the nation’s collective consciousness and on the often unspoken affection in which they are held by churchgoers and non-churchgoers alike. HISTORY Bells are among the oldest musical instruments in the world and were probably first cast in China more than 5,000 years ago. The Hebrew Bible or Old Testament records that they were used by the ancient Israelites in the construction of the Ark of the Covenant and records show that they were incorporated into the worship of Osiris by the ancient Egyptians. They are widely used to this day in Buddhist, Hindu and Shinto devotions.

    ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ROCKEFELLER CARILLON NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )I FRIDAY MAY 25 TO SATURDAY MAY 26, 2018 Harper Court Campus North Parking ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ABOUT THE FESTIVAL ))))))))) The contemporary carillon owes its origin to bell towers that functioned in medieval times as primary means of communication to the inhabitants of the cities in which they were located. 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.
