SICILIENNE Carillon

Jon Lehrer Performs the Sicilienne, movement 4 of the Serenade for Carillon by Ronald Barnes, (1927-1997) on the carillon of Peer, Belgium.
The CARILLON is a musical instrument made up of anywhere from 23 to 78 large bells, traditionally hung in a tower, tuned chromatically (like a piano) and played from a klavier such as the one you see here, with the feet and the hands. They are heard outdoors for several blocks and are used as a form of public music in cities, on university campuses, and church grounds.
Many many thanks to the wonderful efforts of Eric Vandevoort and his recording staff, who created the best carillon video recording setup I've ever seen.


NOW I NEED A FAVOR FROM YOU: At the time of this posting, only 4 of the first 20 results of a youtube search for "carillon" actually feature carillons. I want people to know about this instrument! Please, if you enjoy this video or any other real carillon video you see, rate it, favorite it, comment, and share with your friends!

Thank you!

Someone said it looked like the piano from the movie Goonies, so I figured I'd throw it in :) I'll probably be in Naperville for the congress, but I don't know if I'll be playing beyond a quick casual visit... have we met yet? I don't know you by maideleh :)

Bells outside are pretty wonderful.

Wonderful job!

[Maideleh]

I don't know which is more beautiful: the music you're creating or the flow of your dance with the keys. I like the shots of your feet! Thanks, Jon, for adding a little melody to my day. Playing Naperville anytime soon?

Btw, tag: Goonies?
