Jon Lehrer Performs the Sonata a Cimbalo Solo, composed for harpsichord by Sybrandus van Noordt (1659-1705) and arranged for carillon by Bernard Winsemius, on the carillon of Peer, Belgium.

THERE IS A WHOLE CONCERT'S WORTH OF MUSIC THERE!

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.

Hi Jon, this is really great performance, and recording/editing as well. I must confess that I feel very strong envy towards this outcome!! Let me use this to my site & blog (only in Japanese, sorry), that are designed to introduce carillon music & art to Japanese people.

Thank you very much - yes, you may use this video on your blog / site -- can you send me a link? Have we met in person?

Best,

Jon

@jlbeiaard ey bro one question how it calls that instrument?

sorry if its a dumb question but im starting to study music in the university so i wish u could tell me because i play piano and i see that its very similar to it so i wih you could give me the name so i can search if it is a precesor of the piano.

@565coldskill565 Its called a carillon - it came before the piano or fortepiano, but after the harpsichord and organ. Good luck, spread the word!

PS I do not know offhand if there were any "touch-sensitive" keyboard instruments (aka you control the dynamics through the touch) before the carillon. I'd be surprised if it were the first, but if in your research, you find out that it IS the first, I would be curious to know that!
