Hij is er, zeg ik, en mijn stem gaat trillen, Ik heb een ceder in mijn tuin geplant, Gij kunt hem zien, gij schijnt het niet te willen. Ik wijs naar buiten, waar zijn ranke, prille Stam in het herfstlicht staat, onaangerand, Niet te benaderen voor noodloos grillen, Geen macht ter wereld kan het droombeeld drillen. Ik heb een ceder in mijn tuin geplant. Uit: Panopticum (1946) van Han G.

  • 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.

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.

    XIX WORLD CARILLON CONGRESS Congress: Barcelona, 1 - 5 July Post-Congress: Tarragona, Lleida’s Lands and Montserrat, 6 - 8 July As president of Catalonia, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the XIX World Carillon Congress 2017 held in Barcelona at the Palau de la Generalitat, the seat of the Catalan government that I preside. I am convinced that the historical background of the Palau de la Generalitat and its magnificent carillon will give an excellent platform to this congress for enjoying the incomparable sound of the carillon and to delve into the music and the culture that surrounds the carillon in general. We are a small country of only seven and a half million people, but with great strengths in fields such as culture, research and innovation, knowledge, talent, entrepreneurship and economic development. We believe to have a potential equal to that of the advanced countries of Europe, which makes us attractive in the eyes of the world. We are also a country open and welcoming. And we want to share with you our values, our virtues, our desires, our way of life and our understanding to the world. I wish you a very good congress and hope you enjoy our country. We will do our best to make you feel at home! Carles Puigdemont i Casamajó President of the Generalitat de Catalunya The Confraria de Campaners i Carillonistes de Catalunya welcomes you to this congress, that we have prepared with great enthusiasm, in the hope that you will all enjoy the variety of the congress program. From July 1 to July 5, Barcelona will host the congress and from July 6 to July 8 the post-congress will take us for a discovery of the city of Tarragona, the region of Lleida and the monastery of Montserrat.
