Intrada Col Aria “Almelo Eb”
This piece was dedicated to carillonneur Franz Haagen and the citizens of Almelo, The Netherlands, to celebrate the renovation of their carillon, which included the addition of a low Eb bell. The piece utilizes this new bell as well as the optional use of a low Bb bell. This performance on the recently renovated McGaffin Carillon will showcase the new Eb and Bb bells that were added to our carillon.

I. Fantasia Octatonica
II. Sonorities
The new Eb bell is used in both these movements.
3 Suite in Popular Style for Carillon
II. Ballad (for Sherilyn)
4 Gaudi’s Chimneys

Greet the Carillonneur following the concert at the Euclid Avenue tower entrance where you can also meet to tour the tower.
The carillon can be heard from the grounds around the tower including the Case Western Reserve Campus behind the tower away from the Euclid Avenue traffic noise. Concerts are rain or shine and your car is also a place to hear the concert. Horn honking is an accepted form of applause at the end of the program.
