Today, carillon music still fills the soundscape of cities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Since the First World War, carillon music has become popular in the United States, where it adds a spiritual dimension to public parks and university campuses. This book opens up the fascinating world of the carillon to the reader. It tells the great stories of European and American carillon history: the quest for the perfect musical bell, the fate of carillons in times of revolt and war, the role of patrons such as John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Herbert Hoover in the development of American carillon culture, and the battle between singing bronze and carillon electronics. Richly illustrated with original photographs and etchings, this book tells how people developed, played, and enjoyed bell music. 606 $aCarillons$xHistory 606 $aBells$xHistory 606 $aCarillon music$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aCarillons$xHistory. 615 0$aBells$xHistory. 615 0$aCarillon music$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a786.64 700 $aRombouts$b Luc$01694245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823552203321 996 $aSinging bronze$94072674 997 $aUNINA
