INTERNATIONAL Carillon Festival

23rd

MARCH 4-12 , 2017

ABOUT OUR CARILLONThe carillon at Bok Tower Gardens has 60 bells ranging in weight from 16 pounds to nearly 12 tons. The instrument was designed and built in 1928 by John Taylor Bellfoundry, Ltd. of Loughborough, England which still makes bells today. There are three carillons in Florida, approximately 200 in North America and 600 throughout the world.

HOW ARE THE BELLS TUNED?Carillon bells are tuned just after they are cast and before they are installed. A bell is placed on a lathe and metal is carefully removed from the various heights of the inside wall of the bell. Bells only have to be re-tuned approximately once every 300 years.

HOW IS CARILLON MUSIC WRITTEN AND PLAYED?Although carillon music looks like piano music, the treble clef is usually played by the hands and the bass clef by the feet. The carillon’s action is mechanical, which allows the performer to control the dynamics (loud and soft) by the force of the strike. There is no mechanism to dampen the sound after a bell is struck. Because carillon bells are rich in overtones, the consonant and dissonant combinations are sometimes reversed in carillon music to account for the presence of a minor-third overtone in each bell.

23rdWelcome to the International

Carillon FestivalThank you for joining us in celebrating one of the world’s greatest carillons, Bok Tower Gardens’ Singing Carillon.

With performances by world-renowned carillonneurs, enjoy a renaissance of this most unique musical instrument

through debut performances of new compositions and music performed throughout the 500-year history of the carillon.

what is a carillon?A carillon is a musical instrument consisting of at least 23 cast bronze bells that are precisely tuned and arranged in chromatic progression so that music in any key can be played. Unlike other types of bells, carillon bells are fixed in a frame—the bells do not move. Instead, the clappers inside strike the bells to produce a considerable range of sounds up to five or six octaves. Because of its weight and size, the carillon is the largest of all instruments. A carillon is played from a keyboard on which the keys are depressed by the player’s closed hands and feet. The keys are connected to the clappers by vertical and horizontal wires.

GIAN CARLO MENOTTI

Gian Carlo Menotti was born in 1911

in Cadegliano, Italy. He began learning

music from his mother at a young age and

attempted composing his first opera, The Death of Pierrot,

at age 10. Menotti began his formal

music training at the Verdi Conservatory in Milan, Italy, where he

studied from 1923-1927. After the death of his father, Menotti’s

mother brought him to the United States,

where he won a scholarship to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

Menotti studied with Bok Tower Gardens’

first carillonneur, Anton Brees in the winters of 1931,

‘32, and ‘33. While in Florida, Menotti composed several pieces for carillon. Six of those pieces,

“Six Compositions for the Carillon”, were published in 1934. Three additional

unpublished pieces were recently

rediscovered in the archives at the

Curtis Institute, those pieces are

making their world premiere at this

year’s International Carillon Festival.

Throughout his long and illustrious career, Menotti won numerous awards

including two Pulitzer Prizes, a Peabody Award, New York

Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Guggenheim

Fellowship, and a Kennedy Center

Honor.

Menotti passed away in 2007 at the age of 95. His legacy

continues to live on in the amazing music that he created and the generations of artists that he has

inspired.

ROSARIO SCALERO

Rosario Scalero was born in 1870 in Moncalieri, Italy. He

studied music and violin in Genoa, London, and Vienna. Scalero also

taught in Lyon (France) and Rome, Naples and

Parma (Italy) before coming to the United

States in 1919. He was the head of composition

at the David Mannes School in New York

before becoming one of the original faculty members at

the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

The Curtis Institute of Music was founded

in 1924 by Mary Louise Curtis Bok

(1876-1970), wife of Bok Tower Gardens’ founder Edward Bok.

A partnership between the two organizations

allowed for Curtis Institute students to

study composition and carillon performance

at Bok Tower Gardens.

Several of Scalero’s students, including Gian Carlo Menotti,

Nino Rota, and Samuel Barber, were among

the students selected to come to Florida to study with Bok

Tower Gardens’ first carillonneur, Anton Brees. Scalero also visited Bok Tower

Gardens in April and December of 1931

and composed several pieces for carillon. None

of these pieces were published but were

recently rediscovered in the archives at the Curtis Institute, those

pieces are making their world premiere at this

year’s International Carillon Festival.

Scalero retired from the Curtis Institute in 1946, his student Menotti assuming

his position as head of the Composition department, and returned to Italy,

where he lived until his death in 1954.

“Fiddle Faddle”Arr. Adolph Rots & Auke de Boer

An early work for piano, Prokofiev wrote his “Harp Prelude” during his piano studies at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. He later added organ into his curriculum there in order to avoid conscription into the Army.

In 1951 “Blue Tango” became the first instrumen-tal recording to sell 1 million copies. Composed in 1938, “Jazz Pizzicato” was Anderson’s first hit when performed by the Boston Pops under the baton of Arthur Fiedler. Famous for its pizzicato middle section, “Fiddle Faddle” is based on the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice”. It was a great favorite of the audiences at the Boston Pops.

This program contains some of the best-known arias and melodies from popular operas.

Verdi’s “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from the opera Nabucco is undoubtedly the best-known number. This famous melody is woven throughout the medley.

Finally, you will enjoy “Carmen Suite No. 1” which was put together by Ernest Guiraud, Bizet’s best friend, after he passed away in 1875.

“Carmen”, the “opera-comique”, was premiered in 1875 in Paris. Although not initially well-received, the aria “Habanera” is one of the best known of all operatic operas.Composed in 2016 in celebration of the Yale Guild of Carillonneurs 50th Anniversary, “Sunrise” – “Sunset” are lovely impressionistic pieces. Zwart is the carillonneur of 11 Dutch cities.“Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” (from “The Nutcracker”), made use of the “celesta”, a bell-like instrument played from a keyboard. Here it is on real bells!A lovely Irish-style melody is soon joined by “Good Christian Men Rejoice and Joy to the World”. The low bells play Irish drum rhythms and drones.Anderson wrote “Sleigh Ride” in 1948, the lyrics “Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, Ring ting tingling too, Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.” were added later. In this arrangement, listen for a few snippets of other Christmas carols towards the end!

The suites for cello by Johann Sebastian Bach are among the greatest works ever written for cello. Although written monophonic, the overall impression is polyphonic. This technique is achieved by making use of different voices played in sequence, and by using chords and arpeggios. This impression might also be described as “imaginary polyphony.”The city of Kampen (The Netherlands) developed a rich and vibrant carillon culture over the years. A good example of the city’s cultural achievement is the number of original carillon compositions that have been commissioned. Several new works were premiered the last decade and in 2014, Geert D’hollander was asked to compose a new carillon work inspired by an existing composition. The result was his “Simple Suite No. III for Carillon”, inspired by the “Suite No. III for Cello Solo” by Bach. “Simple” in this case doesn’t mean “easy to do”, but rather “simple compared with the unsurpassed masterpiece that Bach wrote”. This composition is an homage to Bach and refers to Bach’s cello suite in different ways: it has the same musical movements, dances and moreover often uses the same themes and rhythms, but in a modern jacket.

Arr. L. Lonie* Live carillon with electronics

Westminster was written by colleague Bob Byrnes, carillonneur of the University of Northern Iowa at Cedar Falls, and is based on a famous clock chime from St. Stephan’s tower in London. The Westminster theme is augmented by numerous dynamic and yet melodic chords, with the familiar chime tune never far away. Electronic Accompaniment TracksCombining the carillon with other instruments isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s not unusual to hear the instrument alongside brass, piano, xylophone, marimba, drums, etc. But, performing alongside musicians creates a unique problem: how to get the instruments up towers stairs? Not easy! Furthermore, placing them on the ground with the carillonneur 50+ feet above creates unsurmountable sound delays. The alternative: use pre-recorded audio tracks – a creative twist with a centuries old instrument!The carillonneur listens to the recordings via headphones/speakers while playing. The selections presented today were inspired by the work of Frank DellaPenna, creator of Cast in Bronze, a traveling production show featuring the carillon (on wheels) performed with audio tracks.

Alphons Czibulka (1842-1894)

“Cities Change the Songs of Birds”

Jacob ter Veldhuis (b. 1951)

“Love Means”Jacob ter Veldhuis


Square Prayer is originally composed for carillon and soundtrack. Although the carillon is a versatile instrument, it is much larger and heavier than a vibraphone, and it is extremely sonorous. Many European carillons are placed in church towers and next to market squares. This gives them an intermediary function between the divine, liturgical, spiritual world and the more down to earth secular, struggle to survive and trading world.Square Prayer steps in this joint and bridges these two worlds giving a mixed bag experiences: the profane world of churches and the secular world of market squares. On the soundtrack, Latin texts are sung that suggest liturgy, but are profane market lingo. Hidden are the sounds of coins.The structure of Tristezza (A-B-A) is inspired by the famous Funeral March (Piano Sonata No. 2) by Frederic Chopin. And, just like Chopin’s march, Tristezza is also a funeral march. The sad, dark coloured A part is dominated by a slow march rhythm. The psalm-like B part brings in lyrical devotion. As a side effect of the world urbanization, birds start to sing differently. In large cities for example they mimic police sirens and car horns. This data formed the basis for Cities Change the Congs of Birds. Love Means is based on the liveliest expression of men, an expression which serves nothing else then just having pleasure: to laugh. The sound bites (laughing people) are taken from the American media.

“The Rainbow Connection” Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher

The compositions of Frank DellaPenna have a style all their own. He sets to music life’s daily routines, emotions, or in this case the flittering of fireflies and gazing at the heavens on a starry night.Michael Meets Mozart is a mash up inspired by Michael Jackson, Mozart and U2. Pianist Jon Schmidt and cellist Steven Sharp Nelson (a.k.a. The Piano Guys) combine 100 electric cello tracks, piano, mouth percussion, beat box, and kick drum in a piece that “is the sound of classical music climbing out of its grave” (reviewer Eric Raymond). Carillonneur Lisa Lonie compliments the track with the percussive sound of carillon bells.

The Menotti Premiere:Between 1931-33, three young, aspiring Curtis Music School (Philadelphia) composition students - Samuel Barber, Nino Rota, and Gian-Carlo Menotti - spent their winters here at the Bok Tower Gardens as composers in residence. As part of their curriculum at Curtis, they studied campanology, carillon composition and performance under Anton Brees, carillonneur at Bok Tower. Several of their carillon compositions were published in the 30s and some were not. Fast forward to the summer of 2016…

While Ms. Lonie was conducting research at the Curtis music library, the staff pulled several binders of carillon music composed by these musicians. In the Menotti file, Lisa found three curious works which turned out not only to be unpublished, but unknown to carillon world. Now, after more than 80 years Ms. Lonie is privileged to premiere these pieces for the first time on the very instrument for which they were written.

The arrangement of Carol of the Bells is a result of collaboration between Ms. Lonie and Minnesota composer, Matt Riley. As a composer, arranger, orchestrator, and producer, Matt has worked for radio and TV commercials, scored music for documentary films, and has worked in charting and orchestration for TV shows including NBC’s The Voice. He has arranged, produced and orchestrated hundreds of songs for churches and recording artists. His arrangements have been heard in theaters, churches, schools and performed by orchestras – and now the carillon - in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

“Diabolus in Musica”, “Spielerei” and “Simple Suite No. III” are some of the works that Geert D’hollander composed as a commission by the city of Kampen (The Netherlands). His most recent work for the city is constructed around the repetitive tone D in the bass –hence the title: “Around D”. Although it’s not a real dance, one can feel the lighthearted, jazzy, almost dancing energy and pulse.

It is followed by two relaxed waltzes by the Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, who classifies his own music as “Brazilian Tangos”. His compositions are in between classical and popular music and were very popular in the early 1900’s.

The same can be said about Alice Gomez’ compositions. Her multi-cultural origin (Mexican, Indian and Latino) influences her carillon compositions strongly. Today you will hear the premiere of her latest composition for carillon commissioned by the city of Kampen: “Three Spanish Dances”. “Rumba” literally means party, “Buleria” is a cheerful Flamenco dance, and “Alegria” means lighthearted and gay!

“Nadiya”Ad Wammes (b. 1953)

Tonight’s concert begins and ends with a work for carillon and electronics by the Dutch composer Ad Wammes. The very essence of “Tempo di mare” is, in fact, the tempo. The work consists of three parts, which fluently flow from one to another. The first part has numerous rhythmic shifts and therefore seems to accelerate. a sudden quick delay flows into the second part with its tranquil wave power. Via a slow acceleration is the virtuoso third part towards ends with the soothing sound of the Sea (sound of the ocean-drums). The middle part of the program is first of all from two original Carillon. An asteroid hit is a rocky chunk piece that flies in an orbit around the Sun.

“Nadiya” (Indian River) follows the road that a river. First there is the mountain source, then the River, and then-after a long way – there is finally the sea. At the structure of “Nadiya,” the composer has to guide the way tempo in Indian music is used. This is because typically start at a leisurely pace, followed by a doubling of that pace, then-after a certain time – showing a doubling of that doubling follows (4 x as fast so as the beginning tempo). Closed with the beginning pace. This is translated into a rarefied musical Impressionist beginning (source), after which a tabla pattern, the ‘ Kayeda ‘ pattern in this case, the beginning of the river marks.
