Ronald M. Barnes (1927-1997) was a carillonneur, composer and writer who contributed to the development of the carillon art in North America perhaps more than any other individual. He began his career at the University of Kansas as carillonneur of their newly installed carillon and encouraged composers and colleagues Gary White, Roy Hamlin Johnson and John Pozdro to write highly original and groundbreaking new music for the carillon. Barnes subsequently held positions at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. and at U. C. Berkeley. In addition to his original compositions, Ronald Barnes was a consummate arranger of music for the carillon, of which the first piece on this program is a fine example.
