<title>Sounds of the carillon in Ottawa</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/12524/20081127/sounds-of-the-carillon-in-ottawa</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 27, 2008) Almost every weekday at noon, a live concert begins in a control room near the top of Ottawa&apos;s Peace Tower.  53 bells peal forth and are heard for blocks around Parliament Hill.  Music from Bach to the Beatles is performed on a carillon — a rare instrument where massive bells are controlled by touch-sensitive keys and pedals.  Last summer, Gordon Slater retired after 31 years as Canada&apos;s official Dominion Carillonneur.  Slater was only the 4th carillonneur since the position was established in 1927.  A half-dozen non-Canadians tried out for the job.  The winner was a family physician from Washington.  Dr. Andrea McCrady gave her first official performance from the Peace Tower on November 3rd.   Ottawa correspondent Lucy Martin was there when a smattering of appreciative listeners braved near-freezing temperatures on the national landmark&apos;s broad lawn, where huge throngs gather in warmer weather.

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 20, 2004) Bells have a long and distinguished past. Today the music of the carillon rings from belfries around the world, especially during the Holidays. You&apos;ll find them in city halls, churches and on college campuses.  For nearly 80 years, music from a set of bells in St. Lawrence University&apos;s chapel has been a weekday tradition. The Bacheller Memorial Chimes in Gunnison Chapel are played, by hand, five days a week and for special occasions. Todd Moe visited the school&apos;s belltower for an up-close concert.
