Joachim Coens, Managing Director MBZ Paul Breyne, General Commissioner for the Commemoration of World War I in Dear congress participants,

Tsar Peter the Great was inspired by the sound of the carillon in the low countries. 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. In the middle of the 17th century, the tower of Our Lady Cathedral had even two , both of the famous Hemony brothers. Today, Antwerp is still the proud owner of one of these instruments, the so-called city carillon. When it became clear that the carillon needed a restoration, the city administration has not hesitated to make sure that the instrument is in perfect condition to be played by you during the congress. The mechanism has been renewed and a new carillon key- board is installed, for which the historic 18th century carillon keyboard from Museum Vlees- huis served as an example. This cultural heritage is again secured for the next generation. We are also proud to present - for the first time in the history of carillon, and especially for this congress - a temporary exhibition with the historical carillon manuscripts from all over the world. Within the busy schedule of this congress, perhaps you will also find the opportunity to get acquainted with the rich cultural life of our city. With the sound of the carillon vibrates also the sound of a large port, full of cultural and economic entrepeneurs with a heart like diamond and a memory as big as our port.

We wish you a warm welcome in our city!

Philip Heylen, Vice Mayor for Culture, Economy, City Maintenance and Property Management , City of Antwerp

Dear congress participants,

The city of Bruges is proud to welcome you on the occasion of the 18th World Carillon Congress. After some busy and interesting days in Antwerp, visits to Lier, , Newport and Ypres, Bruges is the last carillon city in this program. We offer you a wide range of activities where the carillon with its history is central: a modest exhibition of valuable and unique relicts, documents that go back to 1290! You have free en- trance to all of our city museums and, of course, we offer you opportunities to listen and play our historical Dumery carillon.

We wish you pleasant and interesting days in our city and we hope that you will continue to remember your stay in Bruges with the best memoires.

Mieke Hoste, Alderman of Environment, Animal welfare, Socio-cultural associations, Tourism organizations and Zeebrugge-bad. program

In 2013, Belgium introduced the Belgian carillon culture as a candidate for recognition by Unesco. More specifically, the Luc Rombouts, see concertpage July 4, 17:45 program in safeguarding the carillon culture that started with the innovations of Jef Denyn and that is still running today, is submitted as a best practice in the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. Unesco will take a decision about recognition in November 2014. According to the lecturer, a cultural product can be labelled ‘heritage’ when it has 5 features: association with the past, a local component, a societal relevance in the past, a risk that the element will disappear, and a (potential) societal relevance today. The lecturer will demonstrate that the carillon culture fits well in the definition. A possible recognition by Unesco implies that the carillon com- The Carillons munity continues and intensifies its efforts in safeguarding the carillon culture. Safeguarding can be described into 5 types of activities: conservation, study, transmission, valorisation and promotion.

60 World Carillon Congress 2014 exhibition

Manuscripts with Carillon Music 1600-1900

In connection with the triennial international carillon congress, the Museum Vleeshuis presents an important exhibition with the most well-known historical carillon manuscripts of the period before the 20th century. Forty years ago the historical repertoire for carillon was mainly limited to the prelude by Matthias vanden Gheyn. During the last decades a lot of important manuscripts have been discovered so that the interest in the historical repertoire increased enormously. The oldest manuscripts only contain music for automatic playing drums. From the 18th century onwards we also know manuscripts with music that was performed by carillonneurs. It is the first time that this historic carillon repertoire is brought together on one single location. Moreover, most manuscripts have never been on exhibition before! The loan collection comes from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Poland and the United States.

Karel Moens, curator Museum Vleeshuis

Exhibition City Archives of Bruges

The City Archives holds some important curiosities associated with the bells and carillon history of the city. The oldest document mentioning the existence of a city bell is an account from 1290.

Many documents concerning the former carillons were preserved (Waghevens, Peter Hemony, Melchior de Haze, etc.). The inspection report of the Dumery carillon has detailed and critical comments and the signatures of several known carillonneurs and organists of the 18th century (J. Gruijtters, B. Schepers, J . Colfs, P. Le Blan, D. Raick and others. Also, the 19th-century experiments al- most led to the replacement of the classical carillon keyboard.
