Carillon Cache Locationless, Locationless, Locationless
By Quasimodo the Cacher on 25-Jul-02. Waypoint GC75E3

This carillon is in Langhorne United Methodist Church in Langhorne, PA. This is actually my church, so what a treat to get to hear it often. The people in town really enjoy it and missed it while it was down for repairs. Thanks!

On the campus of Stanford University there are in fact at least two carillons. This one is in the clock tower at the intersection of the main quad with the libraries. It has quite an elaborate clockworks, which requires a lot of maintenance to keep in time. The bells are usually on time, though the hands often are not.

Found it near Barcelos, in Portugal.
Has 4 bells.
Thanks for the cache.

I found it at Wäschenbeuren in Germany
Thanks and Greethings from

The Lyon Building's clock tower houses the 24-bell Tower Campbell Carillon. The bells are made by Paccard and installation was completed in 1993. According to the website www.gcna.org, the electric keyboard is played by Russell Stinson, Professor of Music and College Organist, but I seem to remember reading a newspaper article a few years ago about a lady who also played the carillon. Until 2002, I lived less than a half block away and enjoyed hearing the bells every evening. I confess this picture was taken a few years ago when we lived there and the coordinates are an estimate. I will be in town this weekend and will try to update the coordinates before the locationless deadline.

Following is history. Students walk down the hill to get diploma from KU. Have picture will post forthwith.

The World War II Memorial Campanile is unquestionably the most distinguished landmark at the University of Kansas. It was constructed in 1950 to honor the 277 students and faculty who died serving their country in World War II. Their names are engraved in the Virginia Greenstone on the east and west walls of the Memorial Room at the base of the tower. The panels on the south doors of the Memorial Room evoke the emotions and tragedies of war while those on the north doors depict the history of Kansas and the ideals toward which the University and humanity continually strive.
The 120-foot Campanile, designed by Homer F. Neville and built of native Kansas Limestone, contains a 53-bell carillon cast by the John Taylor Bellfoundry, Loughborough, England, during 1950-51. It was dedicated on May 27, 1951, and rededicated on April 26, 1996, following an extensive renovation made possible by Joan and Keith Bunnel who are honorary members of The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. The renovation was completed by the Verdin Company and Meeks & Watson.

The Largest bell of the KU World War II Memorial Carillon was dedicated to the memory of Olin Templin by the KU Endowment Association to which he served as Executive Secretary for many years. He graduated from the University off Kansas in 1886 and returned in 1890 as the University's first professional philosopher, establishing what are now the departments of philosophy, sociology and psychology.

The tribute to Templin by the Endowment Association was significant for the fact that, during the latter years of Templin's long tenure at the University of Kansas, he vigorously sought to construct a carillon tower to honor the memory of the pioneering settlers of Lawrence for the devastating hardships they had endured, especially during the Civil War years. He set the site, obtained a bid for a 4-octave carillon from Gillett and Johnston, and petitioned the Federal Government for the funding he felt was owed to the citizens of Kansas for the losses they incurred during the Civil War. He worked tirelessly to publicize and achieve this dream.

Unfortunately, Templin died in 1943 before the end of World War II. His dreams and plans were resurrected by the Memorial Association Committee, established to determine, from some seventeen proposals, which was the best choice for a memorial to KU's war dead.

This is the carillon at Stone Mountain State Park outside of Atlanta. It was originally used at the 64-65 New York Worlds Fair as part of the Coke Exhibit. After the fair, it was moved to Stone Mountain and donated as a permanent display by the Coke Co. since their headquarters is in Atlanta.
Neat enough that the lady that played it at the Worlds Fair still plays it several times a week.
We had a chance to go underneath and look at the electronics that drive the whole system. Really neat.

I found it in Germany, NRW near Velbert - Tönisheide.
Many thanks

Strike Two! Thought I had the carillon at Central Christian Church all to myself but another intensive search found that it had already been logged back on 12/14/04. Oh well, guess I'll have to try and find another one. Too bad I missed my chance while I was in Houston last month. I'll post my pictures anyway.

St. Patricks Cathedral in Norwich, CT

Ironically, I was doing a micro cache at this location and at 9am this morning the carillon filled the air with that beautiful sound.

Got home and read the cache description to verify it was a carillion. Too bad I didn't get a pic of me and the GPS... =(

This church tower lies in my environment, in Germany. Pc. Martin, is the oldest tower, which was again developed here after wartime without ornamentations and twisting run gene.

Thanks

St.Petrus Church in Boxtel a town in the Netherlands, each 15 minutes it plays, also used for concerts. During Christmas they play nice Christmas songs on it.
Inside the church is also a famous Piet Smits orgel.

We found it in Mettmann, Germany.

This is the Carl M. Williams Carillon at the Richie Center on the Denver University Campus. The carillon consists of 65 bells, the largest of which weighs 6 tons. The bells were cast by the Royal Eijsbouts Bell Foundry in The Netherlands. The Williams Carillon is the 160th on North American soil, and is the only working true carillon in Colorado. The carillonneur, Todd Fair, was the first foreign carillonneur in The Netherlands. He is the first carillonneur of the Williams Carillon, which was installed in 1999.
We took a class from Todd Fair, which included a tour of the Williams Bell Tower and the carillon.

Found it in Oporto, Portugal.

Greetings from Portugal.

Shafer Tower Carillon; Ball State University, in Muncie Indiana. This was built within the past few years. It wasn't here when I went to Ball State. The web site for the carillon can be found here: http://www.culver.org/academics/FineArts/Faculty/gouwenj/Teacher_files/bsucalendar.asp
The web site offers some very interesting information, such as upcoming concerts, as well as info. on the carrilon itself, about the bells and such. There are also some cool pictures, close up of the bells.

You can't really tell from the pictures, but it sits in the middle of the road and traffic flows around the sides of it.

Oh did we get lucky!

We had given up on this one since the carillons in this area were all claimed. In desperation I searched again this week and found that ASU had just installed a restored carillon that had been out of service and missing for decades.


From the local newspaper (dated Oct 25th 2005):

The dust of 35 years of being forgotten has been wiped away.

The chimes have been cleaned. The dark wood has been polished.

On Friday, ASU's carillon, the bell-and-chime machine purchased by students in 1966 for generations of Sun Devils to come and then forgotten, will play again as part of the university's homecoming celebration.

It took four years, nearly $30,000 and a deal with a state legislator and his wife to give new life to the carillon.

The carillon is a set of stationary bells in a tower, usually played via keyboard. Then-ASU President Homer Durham always wanted a carillon. In 1966, after much debate, the Associated Students of Arizona State University spent $25,000 and purchased one. It was mounted in Matthews Center.

And then it disappeared.

In the early 1970s, the Matthews Center underwent a renovation. At the end of the renovation, the carillon wasn't put back in its room. It was covered in cloths in a storage room. The ASU carillon is one of 100 instruments of its class manufactured by Mass-Rowe. Once it went missing, thought stolen by anyone who cared, it became the only one of those 100 not to be in use.

It wasn't until 2002 that Judith Smith, a public information officer for ASU, was doing research on an unrelated topic when she stumbled across a reference to the carillon.

Smith tracked it down, relying in large part on the memories of Rudy Turk, the former director of the university's art museum.

The last time I saw it, Turk told Smith, the carillon was in a storage room in Matthews controlled by the art museum. But that was years ago.

Smith likes mysteries, but she also remembered the carillons playing every evening at 5 at her alma mater, Long Beach State University.

Miller got the key, and there it was, laying amid vacuums and brooms and mops.

"Well," Smith said she thought to herself. "Now what?"

She faced the same problem that other units of the university do. She needed to hit up fund-raisers for cash, but the university doesn't allow just anyone to talk to the big donors.

She started writing letters to former student body presidents, to anyone with an ASU connection that wasn't a huge donor, to anyone who might have been associated with the carillon.

She sat out on the mall with a booth, a CD player with carillon music in it and a jar for donations. Most days the money stream was light. Some days like last year's New Year's Eve block party, for example, it was worse. Smith sat at the booth almost the entire day and counted up $75. Then she went home and read in the paper that ASU had just received a $3 million donation.

How to pay for the restoration, then?

Politics.

The first student to play the carillon was Linda Vogel, a music student at ASU in 1966. Nearly 40 years later, Vogel is Linda Vogel-Yarborough, wife of state Rep. Steve Yarborough, R-Chandler.

Yarborough helped cut a deal. He would get the money for ASU to finish the restoration. A Persian rug that had been donated to the carillon restoration effort would be sold by the ASU Foundation, its proceeds to go back to the state.

And that's how the 148-bell carillon came to be installed in the Memorial Union last week.

And how Linda Vogel-Yarborough, the first student to play the carillon, will be the first person to play the restored carillon Friday.

The rededication ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Memorial Union Terrace, followed by the concert.

Its in Herford/Germany

I found it in the City of Kempten Germany

This Carillon is on Bell Isle in Detroit MI.

This "Glockenspiel" is situated at a jewellers store at the Oberstrasse in Neuss, Germany. We don’t know if it’s still in use, because we rarely came here in the last years. But I remember the sound when I walked by after school about 20 years ago...

Location: Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, Germany.

We found this carillon during a caching tour in the city centre of Hamburg. It is located in the tower of the former St. Nikolai church. The church was damaged heavily in World War II during the Allied bomber raids named "Operation Gomorrha" on July 28, 1943 and is a memorial today.

The carillon consists of 51 bells, which were cast in 1993 by Royal Eijsbouts in The Netherlands. The keyboard is chromatic from c1 to d5.

I found it in the City of Solingen Germany, it plays four times a Hour.

The Cathedral of Christ the King church in Hamilton, Ontario houses carillon bells high up in its tower. Unfortunately, we were not able to see the bells, but we were assured that they are still in the tower and still operational.

This carillon is located in Centralia, Il. It is across the street from Centralia Morning Sentinel newspaper whose owners (The Joy Family) funded the building of the carillon . I do not much about the carillon but it is work to be seen. I will try to found out more about the carillon and post it later.

This carillon is installed at the Vogthaus (Vogt = a higher civil servant in medieval) and plays melodies from the "Schützenfest" a local characterisitc in Neuss, near Düsseleldorf, Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany. http://www.neuss.de/neuss/stadtportrait/sehen/vogt/vogthaus

This Carillon is near Kettering Ohio and is the largest carillon in Ohio with 57 bells. It was dedicated in 1942. The carillonneur plays on Sundays during the months of June through August. I live near there and you can hear it play for quite a distance.

Carillon on corner of Belleville St. and Government St. in Victoria, B.C., Canada.

This carillon was a gift from the Netherlands for Canada's Centennial. It's called Netherland's Centennial Carillon. The largest carillon in Canada, it has 62 bells and stands 27 metres or 90 feet high. Queen Juliana laid cornerstone on May 23, 1967 and it was opened on

Munttoren, Amsterdam, right in the city center.
The tower is a remaining part of the city wall, built between 1480-87. After the city had grown, the walls were no longer necessary there. After a fire in 1618 this tower was built. It got its name "minttower" in 1672. Due to circumstances such as war it was not possible then to transport gold and silver to other cities, and Amsterdam temporarily got the right to mint coins themselves.
41 metres high, the tower has one of 5 carillons built by famous brothers Hemony in Amsterdam. The carillon has 38 bells now, 11 more than when the Hemony-brothers built it. Every quarter of an hour it plays mechanically, and on special days the carilloneur plays the bells to enjoy shoppers. See also http://www.bmz.amsterdam.nl/adam/nl/groot/munt.html for more pictures.

This is the Carillon of Linz (Austria). It was built in 1982 by the Kiwanis Club Linz and is situated under the roof of a historic building. It is been played dayly at 11.00, 14:00 and 17:00 with melodys of local composers.
As the Carillon only consists of 19 bells and a log here is allowed with 23-bells-carillons I will enter it as "Note" and not as "Found". If the owner of this cache would allow this Carillon as legal "Found" I would be glad and change the log. Let´s see...
Happy Caching
Die Höhlenbären (Tina & Pezi)

Situé au CEGEP de Rimouski, sur la rue Évèché, au Québec, Canada.
Le carillon est toujours en service. Il a été rénové il y a quelques années pour être remis en service.
Il sonne à tous les quarts d'heure.

foud this one in Edam, Holland, more info is on one of the pictures.

The carillon is situated at a church.th church is build in in 1885. The carillon is a Lindser a pedestrean told me. The chuch was closed but there was a shign outsite the building.It is situated in the middle of the village. The carillon was first some where else and is from 1835.

The carillon is situated in a church. It has 40 bells.and the carillon is from 1835. The chuch is from 1885. So the carillon a Lindser is placed there later. It is situated in our village and we did not have a man who could play the lindser so it is restored in ±1970 and it plays every day sinds then. The church is restored in 1999 till now 2005and is almost finished.

We found these Carillon Bells playing this afternoon at the Eisenhower Libary in Abilene, Kansas.

CHURCH OF ST MARY, LOWE HOUSE, ST HELENS, UK

Carillions are quite rare in the UK, but one exists in this church in St Helens, Merseeyside UK. Unfortunately, I was unable to go inside to take any photos.
The carillon at St Mary's, Lowe House is one of the largest in the British Isles with 47 bells. The largest bell weighs 4 tons 4cwt. It is known as the "Thanksgiving" Carillon because it was erected in the centenary year of Catholic Emancipation and therefore is a celebration of religious freedom.

"This carillion is called the "Netherlands Centennial Carillion" , located in Victoria, British Columbia -right next to the Royal British Columbia Museum...The Netherlands Carillon
The Netherlands Carillon in Victoria was a gift of the Dutch community of British Columbia to the
people of the province in honor of Canada’s Centennial.
Queen Juliana of the Netherlands laid the cornerstone on May 23, 1967. The tower was completed and
officially opened a year later. There are 75 steps on the staircase that turns through six complete
circles, a 10-step ladder to reach the playing room, plus anotherladder to the belfry. The bells were
cast at Royal Bell Foundry at Petit and Fritsen in the Netherlands. The tower stands 27 metres tall at
the corner of Government and Belleville streets.
The Netherlands Centennial Carillon became the largest in Canada in 1971 with the addition of 13
bells, bringing the total to 62, nine more than the Peace Tower at the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
The original carillonneur was the late Herman Bergink. His efforts to build and the carillon for the
people of B.C. resulted in his being knighted by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands."

This church is located in Castel Sanpietro Terme , close to Bologna, Italy, the bell tower was raised in the 1926-1930 from Luigi Gulli. To the inside it has been realized a Carillon with 55 bells, only in its kind, from which pieces from concert can be executed.

Was visiting KSTATE today and heard the bells. Had to find it's source - very beautiful!

Attached picture is the Memorial Corillon at First Presbyterian Church in Gastonia, NC. It has 49 bells.

This one is know as the Stephen Foster Campanile. It is located at the Stephen Foster State Park in White Springs, FL. This is a beautiful place and was amazed with the beautiful sounds that it made. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Here is some additional information:

The Carillon Tower is home to the world's largest tubular bell instrument constructed and installed by the J.C. Deagan Company in 1957. The bells of the Stephen Foster Memorial Carillon are of unique design originated by Deagan in 1916. The company installed more than 500 carillons in this country and abroad for nearly 42 years. The carillon at White Springs, the largest and the last system to be installed by Deagan, consists of three full sets of 32 bells with a scale range of C to G, chromatic, plus a fourth high G bell. Three bells sound in perfect unison for each note to produce a strong, resonant tone response.

We found this Carillon in Adorf; a small village in middle

Happy hunting from Jack Russel Team

This is located at Samford University, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings a blind musician climbs up to the tower and plays music for about 30 minutes. I have been up there when I first started to work for the University but its been about six years since I was able to gain entry.

This is Herning Church in Denmark with 48 bells.

Greetings and Salutations from Sydney, Nova Scotia ( Cape Breton Island ), Canada. While attending a wedding rehersal this evening, realised that this was the church i've wanted to get into for quite a while. Being a bit early the Minister was gracious enough to take me up three sets of ladders to visit both the keyboard and the bell tower. The Church was constructed in the early 20 th century ( hope to add additional information a bit later ). Also has a great pipe organ which I included pictures. Didn't have my GPSr unit with me, which is strange though. Will grap a shot a front of church shortly.

Cool!

With the fear of waymarking, I've been working hard to wrap up a few locationless, or is it reverse locationless, or is it a virtual, or, er, whatever . . .

Anyway, found one finally, thanks to some North American Carillon Club . . . http://www.gcna.org/data/LANORLGC.HTM

I actually found this church and carillon a few months ago, but forgot to log it. I recently found my pictures, and remembered! I was caching nearby when I heard music coming from a church, but definitely NOT bells . . . a carillon! I was familiar with the sound from having lived in Indiana, near the University of Notre Dame campus.

This carillon is located in the Queen of All Saints Church in Concord, California.

This is the carillon on top of the town-hall of Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands.

Found this while hunting for a Presidnets birthplace.

This carillon is on very large height. There is a big bell and a carillon too, but it isn't possible zoom very much. The carillon plays in every full hour, for example at 12 pm. This is Niguliste tower. This tower is over 100m height.
Coordinate's accuarancy is 115m due a lot of buildings and high tower.

These bells are located in Willamette National Cemetary in SE Portland.

Parkville, Missouri - Park University
"Mackay Hall was finished in 1890. It is constructed from limestone quarried from the hills on the campus. Much of the original construction was completed by Park students. The roof was replaced in 2003 for the first time, using slate identical to the original tiles. At that time the clock in the main tower and the carillon were restored. Lighting was added to illuminate all three towers."
The college is near our home, and we take walks here frequently. We often hear the beautiful songs in the air as we walk.

The Carillon we found was on the campus of my alma mater
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I've heard the music echoing across the drill field on many occasions when I attended classes here several years ago.

The building the carillon is housed in is probably the most famous of buildings on the campus at Va Tech: Burrus Hall.
This building houses the university’s administrative and student services offices, a 2,990 seat auditorium, copy center, and electronic carillon. The original building, called the Teaching and Administration Building and completed in 1936, held classrooms and the president’s office. The west wing and the rear addition were built in 1968, and the east wing was added in 1970.
