What is Carillon?
and Carillon is a musical instrument that is made of a set of at least 23 bells connected to pedals that can be handled with hands and legs. Karillona can be found in many parts of Europe, especially in old churches and other places in historical importance, and some universities around the world also maintain Carillones. On Carillon you can play a number of different types of music, with some composers who make pieces that are specially designed for Carillon. When Carillon is in good condition and is processed by a qualified Carillonneur, it can create a quite pleasant range of sounds. In addition to being used to create music, they are also used to send messages and warnings. In the 12th century, the craftsmen began to tune the bells, manipulate their size, weight, shape and thickness to create uniform and pleasant sounds. Until the 15th century, North Bellmakers successfully produced tuned bells, although it took another 400 years to improve the art of tuning bells.
Most Karillon is made of Bells case in Bell Bronze, a special metal alloy that is specially designed for the production of bells. The bells are cast in molds that determine their rough shape and weight, and then the bells are refined on the lathe. Many different notes and tones can be created using a single bell depending on how it is affected; The tuning tones improved so that the bells could be played in harmony.
playing Carillon is hard work. Smaller bells that produce higher tones are relatively easy to play, with levers that are handled with hands or fists, although it is prolonged practice to use the range of tones that a single bell can produce. Larger bells are extremely heavy and require significant strength to play well. Thepole lever and pedals can be quite an exercise for Carillon players and the body slip can create a very disapproving and unpleasant noise. When Carillon workE well, it can be used to make beautiful harmonies and fields of notes in a wide range of music compositions.
Several universities allow students to study Carillon and use their own bells as a tool for practice and teaching. Some musicians also have their own portable Carillon sets that tend to have a more limited range of octaves, because deep, heavy bells are no different. The biggest enemy of any Carillon is pollution and elements that can throw out the bells from the melody.
