    In case anyone is wondering, the extra bell playing at the end of the automatic carillon performance is the hour strike for the clock, which is why it is a totally separate train and weight and otherwise makes no musical sense. This turret or tower clock mechanism appears to have three trains: music on the left, timekeeping in the center (with verge and foliot escapement), and hour strike on the right. Of course, any other clock enthusiast will recognize this right away, I just didn't see a comment like this yet so thought I'd leave one. Great video and nice piece and performance, thanks!

    • @suicidal.session
      @suicidal.session 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for the clarification! I suspected that was what it was for, but didn't notice the timekeeping in the center at all. That's really interesting.

    • @Timemaster-1898
      @Timemaster-1898 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are even towers with clocks wich have multiple trains, like one for the clock, one for the music on the quarters, one for the hour an one for the half our.
      I think St.Rumboldstower in Mechelen is a good example for that.

      Wintergatan there's a person who plays a carillon called Cast in Bronze here in the USA he travels between Renaissance festivals and around the globe with it and i think it weighs around 14 tons or about 12.7 metric tons. He plays covers of O Fortuna, Christmas songs and others as well. One thing that i find very interesting about his is that his Bass bells use an organ like mechanism where you play them with your feet. I thought that it would be interesting to you to know someone plays this still and is quite skilled at it check him out he has a website I hope you find interesting castinbronze.net/about-cast-in-bronze/ And i bet he would be happy to know a musician such as your self enjoys him and his music.

    • @perwestermark8920
      @perwestermark8920 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The modern day equivalent allowing play with feelings would use computer-driven solenoids where timing and strength could be adjusted.
      It should be possible to make lifters for a wheel where each programming tab or whatever they are called may have different height, to adjust how hard the hammer hits. But wiyh index holes, I guess it would be very hard to get enough timing resolution to replicate human play - instead of fitted using index holes, the programming tabs would need to be fixated at arbitrary locations. Possible if it isn't one wheel but many narrow cylinders and the programming tabs reaches around the side to just fixate them by friction.

It moved me seeing you play a 500 year instrument with such an exquisite musicality, just as if you were contemporary to it. Kudos to you, man. I hope to meet you one day.

    We have one in the city hall where I live and you can regularly hear it playing adaptations of modern music. And since the composition has to be a bit different it can at times be quite a challenge to figure out the tune.

    • @NinfaRoma41
      @NinfaRoma41 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Konzetsu Oh my goodness! In which city do you say you live?
      I might have heard one of these at Pachuca, Hidalgo, México. They have a clock tower at the Downtown Plaza, and I suspect it might be a Carillon. They've never played modern music so far as I know, but I think it might be awesome!

      Norrköping, Sweden. The Carillion had 35 bells, (4,5 octaves) but was expanded with 13 additional bells to a total of 48. they play 2 tunes a day (double wheels i guess) that they switch up now and then. And it occasionally happens that they play live.
      And for the Swedish people, current tunes are
      Det var dans bort i vägen, Fröding/Lambert
      Sjösala vals, E. Taube
      Not exactly pop right now, but Ive heard Aqualung, Wonderwall and Daft Punk to name a few other through the years.

    • @JasperJanssen
      @JasperJanssen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Konzetsu usually for multiple tunes, you either have just a very large drum (so one tune is half of the drum) or it's a little offset, just like on an eight track cassette - so you have tune 1 note A, then tune 2 note A, then tune 1 note B, tune 2 note B, etc. so you can switch tunes by simply shifting the drum a tiny little bit.

    I was fortunate to hear a carillon concert in Brugge recently. If you haven't been to Brugge, I would recommend it as the city has a wonderful vibe, the history and heritage is taken seriously but they are also keen on community events such as free rock concerts in the city - a great balance for a tourist like me!
    Anyway, throughout the summer they have frequent concerts on the great carillon in the Belfrey in the market square with guest carilloneurs. I cannot recommend it enough!!!

    F-Yeah Carillon!!! My university has a 4-octave carillon and I’ve taken a class to learn to play it, so now I can go up there and rock the bells whenever I want! Ours is more modern and the tower is a pretty tight space, so the keyboard (with handles and pedals) is in a room below the bells with the cables going through the ceiling, and it doesn’t have a program wheel. Instead, a computerized system was added later that can play automated chimes every 15 minutes, and simple programmed melodies. It’s convenient, but not nearly as cool as the programming wheel shown here.

    The first time I came across a Carillon was when we visited Oslo - the town hall has one in its tower. We were lucky enough to be visiting the city on a day where there was tours around the town hall - which included going up to the bell tower and also to see the 'pianist' playing a concert on the bells. The biggest bell on that tower was 4000KGs. Definitely worth trying to see it in action if you visit there.

    haunting when the vibrations of those old bells hits a sour note but then a higher note creates a harmony of discord that seems to balance out into a sweet sounding resonance. lovely in a way, I guess the way i find it slightly jarring,is the same way anyone from a few hundred years ago would probably view the sound of a heavily distorted guitar or an electronic bass track with high attack and gain.

    I want you to seriously consider moving into a house with a tower that can fit a carillon. Think about the community service and public relations value!

    Carillons are common in continental europe, but in Britain if you hear music being played on church bells, it's probably change ringing. Chimes are still automated though, and use a system of a wheel and pegs to pull on hammers, similar to the carillon we see here.

    Actually Georges Bizet, great French composer wrote a piece called "Carillon", it is in his famous opera "Carmen" (you know, Habanera, Torreador song, etc.) you can search for it on YT. I played it, and it sounds very much like this instrument.
    [EDIT: it's not in Carmen, but another great opera: L'Arlesienne]

      maybe.... maaaybe... if you watch the video until the end, you will see a black square with a musical note in the uper right corner. it will send you to his website, where you can buy any of his melodies... But you can listen for free too... Dig there, maybe that melody is already in there... greetings!

    I have to say that the pronunciation of 'Speelklok' is perfect! which may not sound like a big thing but Dutch can be very annoying and difficult when it comes to pronunciations.

    Should the video title say 'carillion'? It says 'carillon' at the moment.

    • @Sagolel4797
      @Sagolel4797 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      carillon is correct, not carillion. It's french

    • @Krommandant
      @Krommandant 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In french it's also carillon, Sagolel.
      Carillion is just a misspelling in either french or english. Maybe it's the right way to write it in some other language.

    • @Hirosjimma
