The H"ntn Society of America held its annnal con\'ocation ~Ja)' 15-17 in Chicago, Illinois, with Fourth Prc5by­tcrian Church as center of activities and the location for a majority of ('\"cnts, O\'('r 200 ,lCrsons aucnded and wcre generally enthusiastic, despite the yc,u's first hal weather.

Events began Sunday night with a choral festival and concluded Tues­day 110011 wilh festival wor.;hip. The lime between was filled with addresses, lectllres, reports, and several concert"; music exhibits were open for perusal " .. eh day. Some of the highlights of the com'oc:l.tion, which had all o\'erall Iht!l11c of "Hymnod)' in the Context of "Torship," are mentioned in greater detail below.

TIle H)'mn Society of America is a national \'oluntary organization found­ed in 1922 to promote new hymns and tunes; to increase interest in wriling texts and wnes; :md to encourage the use of h)'llul" hy congregatiolls of all faiths. NumlJering o\'er 2000 mem­bcrs, the societ)' puhlishes Tile Hy"UI, a quarterly, a semi-annual newsletler The Stanza, reports, papers, and new hymns. National headquarters arc at \Viucnberg Uninrsity, Springfield, Ohio.

The oJlClling chornl festival was de­\'oted to J. S. Bach's Calltata 80, "Eill' Icste Burg/' and Zoltan Kodal),'s Te D~llm. :Morgan Simmons, organist and chuinnaslcr at FOllrth Presh)'lerian, directed the choirs of the church and orchestra; soloists were Diane Ragains, soprano, Jane Askins, contralto, Eric Johnson, tenor, and 'V. Herbert "Titt_ ges, baritone. Elliott Golub was con­certmaster, and l\bry Simmons was organist. :My chief regret about the concert was that a train deJay prevented me from hearing it, hut the indications arc that it was a splendid beginning for the convocation.

The events or ~{onday morning be­gan with a sen'ice or worship that could serve as a model for any festive occasion. I had wondered how Sunday­weary church musicians would respond whell the\' round themseh'es once again in church first thing the next morning, but the response was im­prcssive and the H)'mn Societ)· proved itself wcll able to sing hymns, yielding that thrill experienced only when a large group sings with enthusiasm and conviction. 'Vorship was aided consid· erably by the inclusion or all the hymns in the printed program, and they were, not surprisingl)', well-chosen ones. Rab­bi Edgar E. Siskin's sermon, "Come Let

THE HYMN SOCIETY OF AMERICA

Annual Convocation A Report by Arthur Lawrence

Us Sing to the Lord." \\as de\'otcd to Jewi'ih contrihutions to h)·mnody. The children's choir or Grace Lutheran Church, Ri\'er Forest, Illinois, sang motets and anthcms, demonstrating the quality dial such a group can at­tain. Paul 0011 man was the director, and ?-.hrgaret Kemper, the organist. The large Aeolian-Skinner was ably used on this occasion, both for accom­panillleru and 10 lead the hymns.

Addresses followed: Don E. Saliers (Candler School or Theology, Emory Uni\'ersity) spoke on "The Nature or " 'orship" and John H. Bo)'le (Lorenc Replogle Counseling Center, Chicago) spoke on "The Psychology of "'or­ship." After lunch, Avon Gillespie (Capital Unh'ersity) gave a com·inc­ing lecture-demonstration on "l\.[usk il.nd the Black Experience. II Assisted by \Villiam Hamilton and the eight members of the Northwestern Commu­nit)' I~nscmble of E\'anston, he showed how \'ital the tradition or black hymn singing reaU)' is, with its lise of sim­ple chord structurc.Ii, repeating words, and infectious dri\'ing rhythm. ~lost or all, he showed how group singing can be joyful, ali\'e, and imbucd with the spirit of the dance.

Grade Grindal (Luther College ) lectured next on "The Language or Hymnody and 'Vorship," emphasizing the importance of a consistent lOne in hymn texts, and showing how failure to achie\'e that tone will call attention to the " 'ords themseh'es, rather than to thdr meaning.

The concluding cvent of the after­nooll "as an org.to recital by 'Vilbur Held (Ohio State University) devoted to works of Leo Sowerby (I 895-1968 ) , Illa)'ed at St. James Cathedral. Dr. Held played such \'intage pieces as Comes Alltrww Time and the passa­caglia from Symphony ill G Afajor, as well as Aleditatifm on "Luise," Prel­ude 011 "The Killg's Alajest)'," Whim­sical Variations, Prelude on "Ad per­ennis vitae lonlem/, Prelude on nCllar· teritorlSc," and Poslludiutn super "ne11-edictus Es, Domine." It was appropri­ate to have a former student of the composer play at the church which Sowerhy sen'ed man)' years, and the pla)'ing demonstrated Ihe organ as bcst it could. One wonders, though, how Sowerby was able to tolerate such an ugly instrument for so longi perhaps the an.'m·er lies partially in the fact that many of his organ works were written for or inspired by the Skinner at Fourth Presbyterian.

The cnminj! was dC\'oted to a hymn restival at Holy Name Cathedral, where the Wheaton College Concert Choir under the direction of Res D. Hicks sang a rine program. This group represents the best of the midwest choral tradition, singing a cappella work-Ii with a lovely unrorced tone which wa.o; enhanced by the acoustics of the building-. "'orks hy Gretchanin­off, Victoria, Palc.'itrina, Petrich, and Brahms made up the first haIr of the program. Following this, three new hymns by John La Montaine were sung by all . These works were COUl­

missioned br the con\"ocalion commit­Ice, which is to be commended for such acth·it),. Holy S/,iril, Br" thou, 0 Christ, and This is the day had strong melodies bUl, to me, were less telling than might have been the case, be­cause of the neutral style in which they were composed. An anthem fol­lowed which was based on the same melodic material as the hymns. The choir also sang Heinz 'Verner Zim­mermann's [Jsal lll 148, which makes usc or dbraphone and string bass to give an effect not usually associated with church, three American hymns well-arranged by Alice Parker (Sing to Ihe Lnrd. When I call rcad PIl)' title clear, Hark, I hear the liar/IS cIerI/aI), and 'Villiam "'alton's Jubilate Dco. The highlight was the usc of the Vaughan "'iIliams setting or I\li/CS Lalle (All hail tire }lower ), with all present joining choir and organ in a mighty musical diadem.

The concert was followed IJ)' a re­ception at the Newberry Library, '\ here an impressh'e display of hymnic treasures rrom the Chicago area had been asscmbled. Among the early prints and manuscripL'i to he viewed were Etlich cristlicJt Lider (Martin Luther and others, 1524) , Sternhold

ClUca!{O'J Fourth PresbyleriO\n Church. loa· lion of Hymn Society meetinp.

and Hopkins Ps.liter ( 1576), Hymns and Spiritual SOllgS ( Isaac 'Vatts, 1741 ), and the fi rst Lutheran hymnal printed in America.

Tuesday's e\'('lUs began with a sec­ond address br Dr. SaJicrs, "Hymnody as an Expression or lVorship," which was followed 11)' a panel discussion 011

"The ~rusic of \Vorship and Hymn­od),." The moderatol' was \ViJliam J. Re)'nolds, president-elect of the soci­ety; he was joined by Sister Thco­phane Hytrek (Ah-erno College), Har­old M. Best (Wheaton College), and Thomas 'Villis (Chicago Tribu1Ie). Trends were discussed and $uggesled musical qualities or new hymns gi\'enj some predictions were also made as to which new hymns would rind last· ing usc . The prl'senlations continued with a report b), the president of the .society, L. Da\·id l\liller, on the ac­tivities of the groups and a projection for ilO; growth, which is optimistic.

The com'oeation concluded with festi\'al worship which ccntered around American hymns - the Shaker hymn 'Tis lI,e gill to be sim/lle sen'ed as the focal poim. The Alice Millar Chapel Choir of Northwestern Uni­\'ersity, under the direction of Grigg Fountain, sang expertly, giving an ap­propriate quality to the simple, sturdy style of Billings and settings from Southern Harmony and The Sacrecl Harp. Simplicity, howe\'er, was not the keyword for the brass accompani­ments nur for the choral setting of the Shaker hymn, and here I found the tone mentioned in an earlier lecture to be incOitliistenl. The sen,ice closed \\ ith various settings of Clap hauds all people, after "hich Mr. Fountain played the Sowerby Toccata.

I left this com'ocation with admira­tion for the drdication the members or this society ha\'e and for the on. going work they are doing. The convo­cation committee, under the chairman­ship of Dr. Simmons, did a fine job with the organization and presentation of the varied eVents. 'Ve wish the Hymn Society or ,\mcrica well in its rejuvenation and continuation.

A number of brief editorials in the coming months will endeavor to ex· plain the nature, contcnt, and general stance of THE DIAPASON, from the viewpoint of the prescnt editor. Such a series should logicnlly begin with some background on the foundin~ of this journal nnd irs work through the years to the present. Instead, however, I wish to dC\'otc my initial atten­tion to what is frequently the ,:?;reatcst problem buth for the magazine staff and for the renders : delivery.

Every month, hopefully, YOll receive the issue through the U.S. mail, at least partIy because we know of no better way to send it. \Ve slIspect that the person who has not experienced difficulty with this imposing example of American bureaucracy docs not exist, and certainly bulk mailers have the most trouble. Although each issue is in the mail no Intcr thnn the first of the month, delivery time varies wildly, even within the same locality. Contrary to occasional belief, all subscription copies for each month arc mailed at the same time. 'Ve spot-check the dates on which issues are re­ceived in various cities and can conclude only that vagaries of delivery are most often traceable to the local office or delivery person.

Any govenuncnt:.tl giant sitch as the Postal Service is bound to have dif­ficulty keeping its working machinery operating efficiently, and occasional prohlerns arc IIIcv,tahle. At the 541me time. we waHt every reader to receive each issue as soon as possible. yet we are powerless to do anything once that issue is in the mail. 'VestlAAcst. therefore. th4lt readers who do experi­ence problems wHh delivery report such problems to their local postal authorities.

'Vith this issue. we resume news and reports from our foreign corres­pondents. Infonnation on restored organs and a review have come from Dale Carr in Groningen and Larry Jenkins in London. 'Ve hope that such material will become of regular interest to many readers. It is entirely in keeping with the intenmtional nature of THE DIAPASON that news from non-American countries appear. even though the majority of our material will continue to originate from the United States.

Also this month. we begin material on the carillon, an instrument closely allied to the organ and to church music. The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America is a group which has worked in recent years to advance the art of this unique instrument. and we feci it to be un area now deserv­ing of our attention. Bnth news and fcature articles will be carried from time to time. and carillon recitals will henceforth be included in the calen­dar. Hudson Ludd, University of Michigan Carillonneur since 1971. wiD serve as editor for this material. He comes well-qualified for this work. having been first a church organist and later a student for two and a half years at the Netherlands Carillon School under Leen 't Hart. Mr. Ladd is widely known as a recitalist and has established at Ann Arbor the only carillon cnrricl'}um in North America. 'Ve welcome his contributions to THE DIAPASON.

In addition, we recognize this month the work of the Hymn Society of America, with a rcport on that association's 1977 convocation and annual meeting. The reorganization of the society in 1976 is an evidence of re­awakened interest in hymnody; through our report, we direct your attention to this area of church music.

J. S. Bach: the Six Organ.Concerto Sin(onia! (rom the c::anbtas. E. Power Biggs. organist. whit the Gcwandhaus Orchestm of Lcipug, H:UI~)oochim Rotl.5ch. conductor. Sinfonias to Can­tatas 29. '5 (2). ·m, "'6, 169; Sonata to ComlalOl 31; Chorale frotu C .. mi.ntn 147. Columbia SQ 3427!!.

The h:gacy of the late E. I'owcr Biggs rests in his m::my rcconlings, somc of the most rccent of which wcrc still bcing proccsscd at the time of his death. Such an cxilmple is at band in his per. formance, with orchcstra, of thc six organ·concerto sinfonias from Bach can­btas, rccorded in the Thomasldrche of LcipzilJ by VEn Deutsche Schallpbucn for tlus 1976 Colu mbia rccord ing. Also includcd are the familia r ex tendcd cho. rale from C.,n13t.a 14'1 ("JUII, Joy of Man 's Dcsiring") and the sonata to Easter Cantata 31. The chambcr orches. tn is conducted by the pn..'Scllt.day kap­pclmcisler of the Thomas Chnrch iu performances which :u e both compch:nt .lUd st) Hsh . A nice tonch is the usc of harpsichord continllo, in addition to the solo organ.

As Mr. Biggs pointcd olll in the inter. esting progmm notcs which accompany thc altr.lcU\,ely-pack:lgt·d rccording. these picces arc a bit tllIlI:lllal among thc canon of Bach works. The Obbligato organ part is a single melodic line, treat· cd in much the way that an oboe or \'ioli1l might ha\'c been trcated in simi. lar works. The ,infonias are largely reworkings of other pieces: the sinfonia to Cantata 29. for instance, is an elabo· rale redoing of the initial movcmcnt of the E·major partiu for solo , 'ioHn.

The sill(ollia Iu Cillltata 169 was orig­inally the first mon,'Pu:nt of the [ -ma­jor hnrpsichonJ couceno; that 10 can. lal a 1-16 was first the opening of the D· minur hnrpsichord concerto (which wa! prohahly dcrh-ed in llIrIt from a 'iotin concerto now lost). To thnsc who know Iht"Se piect's in their otJler \'f .. csions, thesc settings bring new light and show diffcn:nt aspcc~ of 50mc of Hach's most wonderful instrumcllt:l1 music.

The performances nrc all that one might hope for , anu more. I suspect that lUggs had recorded all tht'ic works prc\iollsJ),. but thcse \'e rsions exhibit SOIllC of his rinc..'st pl-aying, with the ad . ":l lItagc o( up·tn,date sOllnd. Although Ihis music is IIOt at ;all like the so lo or· gan works. it is he:lUtiful and exuber­ant. COllph:d with o rchc..'strn, the result is a music,lI ullity lhat will gh'c pkas· lire to an y listener. I can (ault nnl)' the slightly thin sound of the positi\' (one manllal. fh'c dh-i(h.>d stops , built for the church by Alc"amJc:r Sc:huke of Pots­(jam) and the npparcnt treble emphasis in cngi neering. The stert'O sound, how. c\'cr, is \'cry plcasing and lhe surface! o[ the disc are acceptably quiet.

I would hesitate to say tho'll Mr. Biggs knew this would be among his last re­conlings , but I do know that he was both plcascd and honored to be able to rccord in the Bach church. As he wrote in the jacket notes, "The privilege of making music with such dIStinguished artists, and in sllch august surroundings, was for mc a most mO\' ing and treas­ured experience." This record, then, is one 10 be treasured by any admirer of either BlIch or Biggs.

THE DIAPASON

Two Organs Restored by Dale Carr

The £irst phase of the restoration of the organ in the M:utinikerk in Gron­ingen, the Netherlands, has recently heeD finished. The pipes of the Tllgwerk and tlu: boucnuoerk :iTC regulated (24 registers). the case is bcatltiflllly fe­sioted. and a1l of the fmnt pipes arc in place. TIle JU:JOftluJn/c and ~dnffl pipes :md action atc to IJc undertaken as soon as the federal suhsidies arc COII­firmed. The work is heing donc by JOrge" Ahrcnd of Leer (in West Ger­many. about 40 miles from Croningcn). under the supervision of Cor Edskcs. adviser for the church.

When finished, the organ should ap­proach its condition of 1740, following the rebuild by A. A. Hinsch. Older work remains from F. C. Schnilger (1729). Atp Schnitger (1692). and A. de Mare (1542): the oldest partj of the instru­ment date from 1481.

Some features of the rcstoration may sct\'e to whet the rcader's appetite for :L fuller report when the work is COni-

r.letcd: The fcet of the 32' Pr.l.cstant lad sagged badly under the wei~ht of the pipes. They were repaired m the church I'3thcr than in the builder's shop: in the wall of the church there is still a large hole where Schnitger placed the mandrels for these pipe.!, and the repairs were carried out after the fashion of the original manu{:tc­ture,

The Q5e presents :t spectacular ap­pearance: the woodwork is painted a dark olive-green, the elaborate carvings (statues, pipcshades) arc richly gilt, and the case pipes covered wilh tm foil.

The orgall had been electrified in 1939, but the old keydesk from the hands of F. C, Schnitger was prcserved. This has been repaired, along with the remaining old windchests, The keys, which were sawed off in 1939, and the key action, are new.

The pitch is about a half tone above A-440; the temperament, following Hinsch, is nearly equal.

The disposition quoted below is taken from Joachim Hess: Disllositien der merlr.wnnrdigste Kerk'Mgeten (Gollda. 1774); H«:!S's source: was J. W. Lustig, organist or the Martinikerk at the time nf Hinsch's work.

One or thc most revcred and Jeast heard organists these days is Simon Prt.oston.

one could ever wish to hear it played.

Since the appea.rance of the: Fenner Douglass article on hiSloriClI perspec· tive, I ha.ve been watching the letters col ullin with great interest, as I kne:w Ihat there would be an angry response.

I have: opinions about action and lonal design myself, but don't want 10 iu\'Oh'c mysclf lotally by stating them. I would JUSt like to ask a qucstion,

At the close of his anicle, Prof. Doug­lass attacks eclectic organs. implying that they cannot be great works of art. What are his comments on Ihe fact that the new Duke Uuiversit}' instrument conlaius (classic) North-'Vest German, Dutch (both ancient and modcm). French and Spanish clements?

1 might also ask: why playa work by Franck on an instrument not designed with that music in mind, as Mr, Doug­lass did at the dedication? 1 know that the music will "work." so will Bach on

a Hook, lIuI is either of Ute two eX· al11ples a demonstration of authenticity?

In the author's list of erTntn in the published edition, she has omitted an incorrect metronome mark in "Advice which thc hoUl'S or darkness give." On p, 7, second score, the mark should be 60=quarter-l1ote, not the eighth, as printcd. I have this in{onnation in a letter from Dr. Finney.

THE ORCAN SONATAS

GuilmanCs eight organ SOlaatas l)Ortray well his classical tcndcncil'5. More than Franck. Widor, or Vicml', Guihn:l.nt's sc1cclion of movements, key relation· lihips. and suhstructures of I1\m"CIUCnls fonow da§sical prolclices. It is lIoL with· out reason that the one son31:1 (the Seventh) to dC\'iale slightly is slIbtilled "Suite,"

Following wl'll,csublishcd sonata can· \'CnUOIlS, Cnilm.mt's sonatas contai." three or fout mo\,ements;" the haslc structures of these mon'menls follow traditiun. The first mo\'ement of ali but the unique Sc\'ctllh is in sonata·allegro form. The ~c(ontl mnn.'mClIl is lcmary or (olluded hill a ry. The last mo\'ement is either a sonata ·allcgro structure (often hl"Cly dc\'el0red) or a [llgue, The third movcmcnt 0 longcr sOllatas is a rondo, :llId of the four stich examples, one is :l scherzo with two trins and onc is a milllll' t with trins, Additional mo\'cmenu arc in \'arious designs, including a free I11m'eml'lIl in the Fihh, a frt."C binary plan in the Eighth, and :I fugue and an· other ternary structure In the Seventh (st.'e table of mo\'cmcnls) .

The sck-<:tiol1 of tempi and keys for Ihe 1II00'CUlents also foUows definile classical patlerns, The sequence of "fan · slow, fast" is used in c\'ery Sonata ex· cept the Fourth. which has "fast-slow­fasler.fast." The Sc\'cnth consists of the pattern used twice. In c\'ery case, Ihe first and last mo\'cments arc in the tontc key, Howe\er, three of the [h'e Sonatas in minor lonality cnd on the tonic major, of which two rinal mO\'e­ments begin minor and end major. The greatest \ 'aricty of key relationships oc· CUIS in the second mO\'ements, with pre­ference gil'en 10 ke)'s a major or minor third abQ\'c or below the tonic. For longl'r sonatas, the third IIIf1\'emcnt is

4

always in the tonic. Additional move­ments use the tonic, dominant, or a third relationship.

There is no true cyclic material, as ill the works of neethoven, Fr.lIlCk, or Vierne, The closest is the par.l.dc of them4.'S from pre\'ions mo\'emenlS in V:4 am} the re·inlroduclion in the Third of themc I of the first mo\'~ment in the coda I)f thc Ihird mO\'emelll. Sc\'cr.ll themes in different mO\'emenls of Ihe sallie sonata b~gin with similar or iden­tiC".I1 melodic paltcrns, but in different rhytluns (Example I}.

Guilmant's themallc matcrial is pri · marilY mcJodic. Most themcs iuclude repetition of all or parts or the melody. Occasiou:llIy, this repetitioll is ill a dif­ferent key or modulates to anolher tonal c{'uler, Restatements of smallcr sectious may he sefluential. transpositions, or al. tered by modulation (Example 2) .

For the sake of lIre\ ity, only the son· at" altl'gro 1Il00'cments aud fugues will he discll$5ed helow. Mmt details nf Guil. Ill:lnl's cOlUpoJitioll :a1 st )'h.' ilia), llc nh· $en l'ti in these mO\'l'IIICllts , particularly with regard to hannullY, t4.'xture. :1I1t1 den.:lopfUent.

The Sonata.Alk-gro Mfl\'ellleuts Guilmant 's treatment of the S(l1l:1Ia·

allegro structure is ahnost entirc1 )' clas· sical. Thus, by ddinilion, there arc two contI'".lsting Iheml'S in "opposing" kc)'s, presented in an exposition. de\'eloped partiall}' or entirely in a \:Iriety of kcys, and both recapilulatJ,:d in the tonic."

The exposition is normally treated in a straight-fon\'ard mallller, but certain 1Il0\'emenls contain cxtcnsi\'e de\'clop· ments wilhin Ihe cxposition. If :111)' exist , thcy arc mostly 011 theme I :lIId are often rugal. The most de\'cloped cx_ mnple is theme J of \':1 which is pre­sented in a long fugato after an already­extensive dc\ clopment (Example 3) .

Guil. mant's nsna procedure is restatement nf all or larger pariS of the Ihemes in a \'ariet)' of keys, nccasionally with al. tetl'd textures, A great \'arict)· of h :.n . monies may bc strung OUI iu this st.'C­liou, but basic tonal ccnters arc nearly always clon'ly rcI;ltcd 10 Ihe Ionic. His famrite method of modulation is by enharmonic COI1l1ll01l· toU4.'5 ill which olle or two notes will he reta incd cnhar­lIIouicall r , while other chord ton4."S ch:mge.

Due to extcnsi\'e de\'clupments in hoth CXI)05ition and dc\c)npmcut , thc recapi­tulations are short. Theme I is lIonnally cul1ailet.l and sJil?htl)' altered, Thcme II is usually identl(:".d to ils first exposi. tiOll, but stated in the tonic. An unusual kcy. re);ltionship appc-.us in 1:3 - thcme II IS on Ihe submcdianl in the exposi· Ihn hut 011 Ihc major touic in the re. C:lpitulation (E'\:amplc ·1). Only two cascs of furth er cle\'elnpmcnt occur -1:3 :11111 VIII:1.

E\'err sonata'alll'gro 11I00'crnent has a coda following the recapitulation. In some there is merely a repetition of parts of thcmatic matcrial (1:3, 11:1, and VU:6). III ulhers a full sC;:Jle dc\'clo(nnl'nt is il1l'iutil'd (1:1. 11:3. IV:I, and VIII:I). Thellle I is ah\,;:J\'s inclUded. Other ilia· teri;11 is ()ccasiuIIOIlty found.

IlIlcn.'st by hi, cOlltempor.:arics in music (IC the ,Iasl and in its proper perform­:mcc is largely due to his efforts, and Guihnant helped popularize then·con­temporary works. He was the first to perform this music widely and to teach II to his students, By his extellsh'c COli­cert tours, Guihnallt was among the

fint tn raise popular interest in the or­gan and in orKan music. Thanks 10 his historical editions, old mllsic became generally available. As professor of or· bran at the Paris Consen'atoire and pri. "a(ely to countless forcib'll students, he influenced rising standards of pcr£orm. alice and technique considcmbly. The well-developed and highly controlled playing uf so man)' }-"rellch, English, and J\meri can urganisl~ stems from Guil. mant 's rnle as a leacher,

Guilmant was equally influential as ;, composer. The exceptionally 10lV

standards of organ composition, impro­\' isatiou. and pcr£orm:mce demantll'tl a new strict discipline. This is well 'pro­"itlcd hy Cuilmant's worl:.s, l'SpcclaUy his eight S<matas, Solid. careful con· strllclioll 1)C!f\"41des; detail is imporlant ill thl'Se classic4llly-oricnied stmcturl'S. IlIllo,".ation of Corm dm'S 1I0t appear; I-:Ither, t~ditional approachl'S ha,'e been :I(lplied. Certainly, Guilmant was among the earliest French composers to write fully dCl"(!Ioped sonata·alll-gro move­lIIents and fugues for the organ. This is more significanl considering the pre\"­alent trend to eXll'nded Cree structures, not ouly in France, but also in Germany and elsewhere.

Guilmant was not merely a reaction­ary force in the Frcnch school of organ composition; mlher. he was an integr.:al part of the symphonic mO\·emenl. Like ):ranck and "'Idor, Guilmant was a Ca,"aillc·Coll supporter, and his influ. ence, ('Specially in Jcgard 10 indusion of full mixture work ami mUlations, is appn'i:iablc. In composition, Guihnant was a trill' symphonisl, UsinG the organ as an ensemble instrument, and he was all illIlO\'ator in the usc of the orgall . A contemporary critic, I-Ian'ey Gr.lce. as· sessed Guilmant: "J\s a great all-rounder, he is cerlain of a permanently high placl: in the history or organ mtlSlc.7l.

Whereas the study of hells includes sitch disciplines as hislory. biography, archae· ology, architecture. :llllhropology. mctal­lutgy. mililary and social sciences, com­parative religions and, of course, music, the musical uses of bells in our culture arc but three. namely the haudbcll. the chime and the carillon, tbe latter being the most l11usicall)' sophisticated. This article dcals with the Clrilloll alld its rclcnance to iUl surroundings. 'I he sodo­musical rcsponsibiliti(."S and, ultimately. the wide reaching possibilitk-s of the carillon stem (rom the b.ct that it is a (Jublie musical instrument which speaks 1I0t to a cOllcen 11311 or church hut rather to a locale, rC3ching all persons whhin that area. It is for this reason that Ihe carillon performer (carillon­neur) must accept not only full musical rcsponsibility for Ihe perrormance but also a vel)' definite social responsibility.

The arlicJ~ of incorporation of The Cuild of CarjJ)onneurs in North Ameri­GI, an acth'c and viable galhering of pcrrormers, studen,ts and enthusiasts who promotc thc carillon art, de~cribc a carillon as ". , .. a Illusic:tl instrument consisting of at least two octaves of carillon bclls arranged ill chromatic serics and pla}'cd from a kcyboard per­mitting control of expression through \ ariation of touch. A carillon bell is :t cast bronze cup.sh:tped bell whose p:tr­tial tones are in such hannoniolls re· laliollllhip (0 e:tch other as (0 permit many such oclls to be sounded together ill \'aricd chords with hannonious and concord;mt c((«t:'

This definition limits only the mini­mum number of bells for a Clrillon, yet the most common rangc of the ap­proximatcly 180 North American in­strumcnts is four or more octaves. The c.ltillon is ohen a transposing instru­ment, caused hy e3rlier thinking that transposition down would add more "weight" and hence more beauty to its IIllnic; transposition ur is sometimes necessitated by fjn:tnci3 considerations. Currently thcre 3re strong feelings tlmt a carillon should be o( 3t least four octa\'es range and in coltcert pitch, with the po~ihility o( b:lss and / nr treble ex­tensions,

The carillon is pedormed from a console which the Glsual obscner would

Iikcn In that of an argall, for a pedal· board is ilt\'Oh'cd. Indeed, thcre is evi­dence that the carillon console was dc­ri"ed from thc organ console of early I6th,cclltury Europe. Hun-e\'cr, 3 musi­cian, upon closer examination, would quickly see that carillon performance is milch closer related to th:tt o( the piano, for a touch is hl\'oh'ed that permits a wide range or dynamic control, which in tllrn allows ror musical imerpreta. tioll. The console, consisting of :t key­board and pcdalboard, oHers the per­fonller direct mechanic:tl control o( the clappers by means of mctal trackers. This connection-from the performer, through (he comolc, to lhc trackers and the simplistic action, to the dappers and hellce to the sound procluccrs them­scl\'C.·s, the lJclls-lnust be kept as short and 35 intimale as possible. A close re­lationship l>cLween the performer and his sound producers illlows for 3fticu· late, sensili\'e and iOierprclath·e per­formance which in turn leads to public awareness and musical ilpprec13tion. Thcrerore, it is a rare 0pp0l'lunity to witness carillon performance, since the carillonneur is often high in the tower among the bells. The carHlon cOlISole is always placed ill a sound·controllcd roOIn callcd a "playiug cabin" which rarely a£fords adequate space for visiton. (Be­calise of this ami other special considcr­ations necessary ror .. successful c:r.rtUon installation, it is imperative: that the carillon purchaser and the tower archi· tect closely consult with a trained per­former who ulu..lerstands the character­istics of the instrument,)

Whereas the console: provides tin: carillonneur with a kcyboard and ptdal, ~fd ha\'ing the same ocla.\'e distribu­tion as any other kc)'bo3rd inslfumenl, the physical similarities end there. The keys, machined from kiln dried ash, are rounded at the: perfomling end and are long to provide lc\'eragc advantage. They resemble batons and h3\'e often been called same. The pedals, of kiln­dried oak, are abo much larger .than the pedals of tbe organ, Olnd there IS a \'ery impol'lant reason for all lhis. It has to do with performance techniques and, whereas there will be a future article conceming techniques and interpreta­tions, it is important th3t the readers understand that the console has been de­signed to fulfill one function, namely to permit musical interpretation by di­rect control of the clappers.

docs indeed allow the performer with­out 3U)' electrical or pncllm3tic assist· ance, 10 perfonn on an instrument often wcighiug man)' tells of tons with great !ellsitivit)', articulation and virtuosity. The consolc and the action to which it is connectoo offer the carillonneur me· chanjcal assistance such as leverage ad· \'antage. counterwcights and b3ck ten­sion springs, Contrary 10 what might ha\'e recently becn read in the New }'ork Times and the Wall S,rtiet j01.lnlal, carillon technique is not the pounding of fists and the banging of knees, The truth is that the carillon does reqUire a more physical perfonnancc Ihan any other instrument but that does not, in itself, lessen its musical possibilities. Thc actual technique required is Clllco an "enlarged technique" for. rJ.thcr than using fingers to depress the keys, a re­laxed and dosed hand is employed and rapid ami and leg movements are often nccessary.

L'C1l the consolc and the bells is a ,"cry simple action, abo c:r.Ued il "trans­mission s),stem," The action described is the most common in the United StalL'S; howc\'cr there are other s),stems which slightly modify this adion :md are gh'cn other names. Abo\'e c3ch key there is a lurnbucklc which :tllows the perronner to make minute 3djustments in tracker lengths so that the bell will sound dear and unhampered when the key is fully depressed. From these, thc straight, stainless·steel rod tracken ascend through the roof of the playing cabin on which a weather protective umbrella rack is installed, Ascending furthcr, the trackers arc connected to an ann extending out from a horizon­tal transmission bar. whid. laterally lram'erscs the action. At the other end of the transmission bar is another arm, from whidl the clapper hi connected by another tracker. The action could not be more simple, yet it hi oben misun­derstood.

Bells hne played an important part of many cultures for centuries, even to the degree of being imbued with apo­tropaic powen. Before the advent of clocks, bells were widely used to control the daily time scheduling of villages and cities. ]n urlain parts of the world. before the development of modem com· munication technology, the carillon was the most commonly heard musical in· strument. Even in this century in lhe Uniled States, the pUblic nature of the carillon was recognized when the larg­est carillons in the world were installed here immediately before, during or after, the depreSSion of the 1950's. The bell is a part of, and has made notic­ahle contributions to, our dvilization.

The bells of all c:r.riJIons :lrc .haped similar to the Gothic profile developed in the 13th and 14th centuries and fur­ther impro\"Cd in the 16th century. Car­illon bells are cast of bronze (approxi­mately 20% tin and 80% copper) and arc still manufactured today with indi­vidual and skilled aa(15mamhip. After the bell is cast and cleaned, it is the delic:r.te tnning which permits it to be­come part of a Clrillon. The tuninJ function is two· fold and highly comph­cated. Most carillon manufacturing firms today tune the bells only on the inside surface, by machining metal from the inside with a lathe. The functions arc called interior tuning. whidl is the tun­ing of Ihe five or six lowest partials .$0

that the bell is in tune with itself, and cxlt"rior liming. so that the bell is in tUlle with the other belh of the caril· Ion. Both functions are accomplished simultaneously. Thcre are only a hand­ful of bell£oundrics in the world that can tune bells expertly enough to man· ufacture carillons. Inherent in each bell is a predominant minor tllird o\-ertone which, while adding an idiomatic tim· bre to the bell, may present a slight interior discordance. Once the bells arc tuned they will remain so for the IHe of thc instrument which, as often is the casc in Europe. may be hundreds of }'c;ns.

len pro(iI., with ar.a. important fDr tuni_. marit.d on right.

Recent discoveries of improved cast­ing and tuning techniques which allow more weight for the treble bells ha\'e prompted several established carillons to have their treble range replaced, to beller acoustic:tlly balance the lower range. fiy connecting well-tuned bell.!! to a tonch·sensitive console, the result is a magnificent musical instrument called the c:r.rillon.

There arc three very important pre­rl.'qui!';ites which must be fully met b~­(nrc a carillon installation will be ulh­m:t.lcly success(ul , enjoyed and support­ed hy its appreciating audience. First, the carillon i15elf IUtlSt be a well·tuned instrument playable from an expressive console, Second, the site of the towcr must be located to give advantage to proper listening. as far. removed as. pos­sihle from ambient nOises, And thirdly, a well ·trained performer must be en­b~gcd and allowed musical freedom. ]t is only by meeting these prerequisites that the large financial in\'estment of a carillon, be it a gift or an acquisition, will pay for itself in public support :tnd musical appreciation , thereby reilching its fullest potential.

,\ carillon is never performed from an h 'ot )' ke)board, for then the con­IIcction between the performer and the

belh; is electrical, making musiCll con­trol and interpretation impossible. A carillon bell is never an amplified rod or metal tube. A future article will C0111· pare thc carillon to its many imi1ations on the markct today.

WhereilS tuned bells werc imported into the United States in the 19th cen­tury. to the then-Holy Trinity Church in ]'hiladelphia (25 bells in 18~5), Church of thc Sacred Heart at Notre Dame Univcrsity (23 bells in 1856), Sl. Joseph'!,; Cathedral in Burralo and ]o,ya State Unh'ersity in Ames, it is generally 3ccep1etl that the beginning of the North J\mcrican carillon art d:ttes from 1922, with the two installations 3t the Melfo, politan Church in Toronto and thc Church of ollr Lady of Good VO)'3g'C in Gloucester, Mass. With thcse dates in mind it is easy to understand that, to the AmcriCln audience, thc C3rlllon is a relath'ely new musical cxpression. The cariIJon art reached unhe3rd of heights of maturity in the 1950's, when fresh thoughts were given to pcr£orm· ance and composition. The c:trlllon art continues to de\elop and grow on bolll t ides o[ the ,\tlantic, with technic:tl im­pro\'elllents to the instrumcnt, flew ap­proaches to technique, and innovative, idiomatic additions to the repertoire.

The Carillon Today (Conlinued from I', 6)

Generally speaki ng, the carillonneur per­forms three repertoires: (I) original composi tions, 2) transcriptions and ar­rangements, and (3) popular works, in­cluding seasonal selections.

The North American carillon art is still young, capable of touching people in varied ways; it offers great oppor­tlmity for new thought and innovation, and is generally a very exciting musical expression. The carillon can relate to a community, or a teaching or religious institution, to such a high degree so that it is actually a p'art of its way of life. Ito; fullest capabilities of being an inlregal part of the overall American culture have yet to be realized, and, as carillonneurs strive to develop the
