Hi Sooth15, nice video. The Peacetower is definitely an iconic symbol of Canada’s capital! You should consider submitting this to the Canada’s Got Treasures collection by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure). It would be made available on our channel and website. Help celebrate Canadian diversity!
Chords, I don't know, but the tower has 53 bells, ranging in size from the 4.5 kg (10 lb.) A-bell 16.6 cm (7 in.) in diameter to the 10,160 kg (22,400 lb.) bourdon tuned to E.
@TheRCAC The carillon is not electric. It's controlled by cables that run up to the clappers of each bell, which are counterbalanced by strong springs. The tension on each bell/key has to be adjusted before each performance, because of differences caused by temperature, etc. The Westminster sequence, however, is controlled electronically. Otherwise all musical performances are done by a person.

@sooth15 all the bells can be controlled and are attached to an electric piano that you can play pretty much anything

Can you please make a video of what the bells look like when they're ringing?

1: I don't live in Ottawa, 2: The bells don't move when they ring (only the hammers move), and 3: They don't let people up to see the bells.

I think it's just as nice. Besides, why do wall clocks and clock towers and sirens have to copy the tune?
emmettsgirl981 2 years ago
perhaps because the tune is very simple.
