Stone Mountain Park Carillon-Mabel Sansing Sharp Carillonneur

For over three decades carillonneur, Mabel Sansing Sharp has treated audiences to spectacular performances of the songs "Clare Delune", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "Amazing Grace" and "Georgia" along with many other songs and hymns. A very special thank you to Ms. Mabel for all of the wonderful memories!

For those of you not familiar with the Stone Mountain Carillon, the instrument was built by Schulmerich Carillons in Sellersville, PA for the Coco-Cola Pavilion 1964 World's Fair in New York.
The 732-bell carillon is located lakeside in the heart of beautiful Stone Mountain Park, Georgia. This amazing bell tower structure provides daily concerts to those young and old for reflection and inspiration. The carillon is the heaviest of all musical instruments and probably one of the most interesting by design.

I saw a viewer's request to play a song on this electronic carillon on a TV program back in 1972 called "You Asked For It". Herbie Koch played it back then. The "bells" have one voice that sounds like tower bells - the Flemish voice. The other voices are used mainly as an accompaniment. The sounds come from struck metal rods which are amplified over speakers in the tower.
