1929 Skinner organ at Woolsey Hall, Yale University
Ring Those Bells!
We tug on the rope of opportunity during our next Pipedreams broadcast, and rejoice in the tintinabulation of "bell music". Organ composers are not alone in finding the sounds of bells and chime themes irresistible. Our timeless collection embraces the French Baroque, the British Cathedral, and even the hills of Hollywood, where such diverse artists as George Wright, Simon Preston, George Thalben-Ball and Thomas Murray celebrate with clangorous abandon the creativity of Louis Vierne, Percy Faith, Frederick Delius, Edward Elgar, and many others, fourteen composers all told, who have written carillon compositions which will jangle your chimes. Church bells, tower bells, carillons, winter sleighrides and even a Brazilian vacation are conjured up this weeks music for the King of Instruments."Ring Those Bells!" a clangorous collection, this week on Pipedreams.
