Sweelinck, Est ce mars-variations

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621), variaties over 'Est-ce Mars le grand Dieu des alarmes / Que je voy?', arrangement for carillon by Roy Kroezen.

Played by Gideon Bodden at the carillon of the Munttoren in Amsterdam, on Saturday, March 12th 2011.

The Carillon of the Munttoren was made in 1668 by Pieter Hemony, who used the bells of the former carillon at the Stock Exchange Tower, which instrument was cast in 1651 by François & Pieter Hemony. Pieter Hemony enlarged the range of bells with 6 new bass bells, and modified the ground of the mean tone tuning from C# to F#. Of the original 33 Hemony bells, today only the 13 largest are still functioning. The 25 smaller bells are modern products.
The range of bells is C#1 (1900 kg) - F#1 - G#1 - A#1 - chromatically G#4, and they are tuned in 1/4' mean tone tuning.
