  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Instructions for Caroling Safely
    Why Should We Sing? Greetings and thank you for downloading this resource. We hope that it will give you ideas, guidelines, and an easy jumpstart to “fill the night with music and light.” Your presence in the world will help others see the light of hope and the music of good will for all people in this challenging time. This is why we sing. Whether you are worshiping online or in adapted in-person gatherings, singing in enclosed spaces is still not advised. So what do we do when it isn’t safe to sing inside? We take it outside! Let us reclaim and amplify this beloved tradition of caroling, bringing more hope, love, joy, and peace to the world. Who Should Sing? Everyone! This could be an endeavor led by members of your choir and musical ensembles. Perhaps they are leaders of small groupings of people from your church, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to participate and have solid, confident leadership. If you have a larger choir, perhaps smaller groupings of singers from the choir are sent out to different parts of your community or member’s homes (especially those that will not be able to get out themselves). You may have already-established groups of people who meet for small group fellowship and study and they could form a caroling group. The booklets and recordings are set up in such a way that even households with no prior caroling experience could engage in singing together for their own enjoyment. www.worshipdesignstudio.com/carol2020 1 How Shall We Sing? Safety Guidelines While we all continue to yearn for a sense of normalcy and to be able to celebrate this important part of the Christian Year, we also take our responsibility to “love thy neighbor” very seriously.

The development of change ringing in the early 17th century was mainly due to the invention of the full-circle wheel on which the bells were mounted. By pulling a rope, a bell would make a rotation of almost 360 degrees with a period of approximately two seconds. The time between two strikes of the same bell could be controlled rather accurately, which made it possible to ring a certain number of bells all after each other and keep repeating this in the same order.

  • Campanologist Chronicles
    25 24 CAMPANOLOGIST CHRONICLES The Parish Church has an up and coming band of ringers. Not only do they ring the bells for Sunday services and Tuesday practice night’s, but they also help with the ringing the church bells at Albury and Little Hadham. There aren’t as many ringers about as there once were. Bell ringing is something for both young and old. It helps keep you both physi- cally and mentally fit. It is a quite a commitment, week in week out ringing for both Sunday services and practice nights, as well as the occasional wedding and christening. Many of you will remember Charlie Jordan, he was taught to ring when he was 12 years old and was still ringing at 80. The bells at Much Hadham are hung for full circle ringing. This is where a wheel and rope are attached to the side each bell and the bell is swung back and forth on a headstock by a bell ringer through a little more than 360 degrees to get bell over the balance point for setting in a safe position of rest. Learning to ring is a bit like learning to ride bike. Letting go of the rope at the right time so you don’t go up in the air, helps! The ringing that takes place in known as ‘change ringing’ with both call chang- es and method ringing being rung. Due to the full circle ringing each bell can be carefully controlled to ‘strike’ with its clapper once every change. The simplest change is called ‘Rounds’ where the bells are in the order of 12345678, bells can be called to move one place at a time to reach tuneful changes such as ‘Queens’ 13572468 or ‘Whittington’s’ 12753468 “turn again Whittington” as Dick did all those years ago on his way to London.
