Me : *enjoying my short break*
School bell :
Epic
Time to go back.
@@JonatasAdoM More like "Time to go Bach!"
Imagine this as your school bell

Take my like you filthy animal
I can only imagine how epic it feels punching the keys that make music over an ENTIRE CITY.
It was a thrill to be up in that tower with Boudewijn and even moreso when he took our request to play Stairway to Heaven! ruclips.net/video/fmKiIcCyvAo/видео.html

It's epic.
As someone who has played a carillon over a City, it feels absolutely surreal.
that, and how scared I would be to make a mistake because everyone in teh city would hear it.
Rarely do you punch an instrument and it sounds right
The exact opposite of a Theremin... :-)
@@karllegrand ha tru lol
Carillon will NEVER sound right :D
It is always out of tune with a complete mess of unharmonic overtones fighting each other and with delayed bass line. But it is good to hear it - once a year or so :D
For example, the cello.
Unless you’re playing Liszt.
When you know that if you make an error, thousands of people will judge you
I mean... Same with someone in a successful band or orchestra, or a pianist playing in an auditorium.
This way, at least they don't know who you are.
@@Lummerbummer115 The same also happens for getting live in a sunburn
And GOD
in actuality thousands of people will go:
"Who's that nutcase up in the tower going ape on the bells?"
I dunno. He's playing Beethoven, right?
"I think so? It's that one old song everybody knows."
What's it called again?
"I DON'T KNOW!"
Me: just chilling downtown
The sky: starts playing this music
I too, want to play the sausage piano keys
If it helps I have a sausage key you can practice on.
@@lightespeed oh my ;)
lightespeed I’m sorry but playing the mini version is nothing like playing the real thing
@@lightespeed lol rekt
lightespeed Smooth
These 2 ton instruments are incredible, and the people who play them are so gifted. There is a Renaissance fair in Colorado every summer, and there is a Carilloneur who brings his and plays it, sells CDs, and we love it. The vibrations go right through and vibrate your bones.
Creo que se llama cast in bronze, si más no me equivoco
I reckon this one weighs more than 2tonnes. It's an entire building.
This guy must be amazing at wack- a -mole at arcades
He's not bad on a carilon!😳
When your foot is pressing the sustain pedal through out the entire piece:
That's exactly what I thought holy fuck. The instrument sounds amazing, but this is awful sf
Theres no nees to sustain cause bells are used there. A big hahah
Yap nose knees atal.
This is amazing work, i hear Tocata in D Minor on many instruments, but this is really good and unique.
Try violin. But the fugue and not toccata, it works just perfectly on violin
that’s not very good
It's definitly unique and well played. But when played on a grand organ it has a many times deeper effect on me.
How do you practice the carillon to get good at it? I feel like trying to learn scales and such might be annoying to some (all) towns/cities. :P
Check out our interview with Boudewijn Zwart, Westerkerk Tower Carilloneur He has the answer
peabodyessexmuseum
He didn't mention anything about practising the carillon. :(
Aculnahuacatl Tzaqualcatl Apologies. The section never ended up in the final video! Here is a link to the school where Boudewijn learned his craft www.beiaardcentrum.com/en/netherlands-carillon-school
I remember he said they had a real carillon in a real tower "in the middle of the forest." www.beiaardcentrum.com/en/amersfoort-carillon-town

Thanks a bunch, that clears it up. :)
I know that at UC Berkeley that they have at least one practice keyboard in Sather Tower to practice on and for the classes that they give for (to?) students.
I didn’t know that tuned hotdogs could make such wonderful sounds.
I did not expect to see gudetama over here
I can't stop laughing and listening to this beautiful music.🤣
Kkkk
me at 3am: taking something to eat
fallen spoon:
Can you imagine trying to practice with the entire city listening.
Exactly!
As far as I know I think they have a practice version in the bottom floor that’s not hooked up to any bells. Still, making a mistake on an instrument that echos for miles must be stressful.
a reason to not f--k up your carillon lesson
He's the best Carilloneur I have ever heard!!!! His technique and articulation is also very nice :)
Well done
Do you often hear carillonneur ..? 😑😂
His technique isn’t great, look to Jan Verheyen or Geert d’Hollander from the bok tower gardens!
@@picante28 😂
It is said of Bach that he "was able to accomplish passages on the pedals with his feet which would have given trouble to the fingers of many a clever player on the keyboard." Here, Boudewijn plays passages with his fists that would have given trouble to the fingers of many a clever player on the keyboard!
Imagine hearing this in your mid-day nap 😴
would be very happy to hear this in real life
When I was little I always loved church bells :) thanks 🙏
And once again
RUclips recommendation brought us all here.....
When i saw the thumbnail i thought it was a bunch of hot dogs
Exactly! Me too
WA Mozart 😂😂😂
Someone is hungry
Ezequiel Stepanenko Yep😜😂
😂😂😂 Same
I hate how the audio was edited. Just listen to the bells in the intro. They don't even finish ringing. They just get cut off. Sounds horrible to the ear. Guess I'll have to hear this awesomeness in person.
Could you imagine visiting a city, walking the streets and being surprised when this suddenly starts?
Interpréter au carillon la toccata et fugue de Bach écrite pour orgue doit présenter beaucoup de difficultés ! Bravo !
I don't think that there's ever been a more magnificent performance in a browner coat.
As someone who played it on several instruments, No matter the instrument, It is always fun to play it :D
Impressive
But can you do the third movement of moonlight sonata on that?
Hahaha I was just thinking that
Probably not. You’d have to modify the piece a lot because it has a lot of chords that would be impossible on this instrument

warm regards, Koen (carillonist of Antwerp, also owner of mobile carillon www.bronzenpiano.com)
Thanos if anyone wooshes you... they will burn in hell
Or Perpetual Moto by Paganini.
Very Beautiful.
they look like Great fun only bad part is if you mess up like big time, every one with in the ringing distance will know...
At the same time you are anonymous, non body knows it’s you!
@@marnikvanhelden3427 .... unless the town got word of people playing certain songs...lol
Yup, at least a few miles away. No stress. XDDDDD
imagine waking up to this
when are we going to hear the fugue? it would be interesting to hear how you interpret the change in the timbre between the various parts in that section with this instrument.
Type in 'Boudewijn Zwart speelt Bach Boudewijn Zwart plays Bach'. There's also a vid, though split into two parts, where he plays the entire Passacaglia in c minor.
Nobody:
Annoying kids that can't play instruments but like to touch them whenever they see one: 2:38
Sometimes I feel bad for them because they probably want to but their parents won't let them.
I don't get it
LOL right
@@FroggyRibbits I don't feel bad for them. If it's not their instrument, and or they don't play it, they shouldn't touch it
That would be fun to hear out hiking around, or on a special occasion.
That would be creepy as fuck
Just amazing. I really live this on an organ but to hear it played this way was a big treat! Thanks for sharing!
Can someone pleeaaassee turn that horrible audio compressor off.
I hate it.
You mean RUclips?
@Egg MCMUFFIN This has nothing to do with RUclips because there are plenty of videos on other channels where this doesn't happen.
Ok for the people in this reply section: there's a couple different types of compression when you talk about audio. One is like what you might find in an effect pedal, where high volumes are brought down and low volumes are brought up, giving punchier attack but less dynamic range.
The compression youtube does is not that. RUclips compresses audio files, meaning sound will sound a little less life-like, but the dynamics are not really affected and it certainly doesn't just shave off overtones.
The effect that is actually used here sounds like just a simple gate, where if the volume is below a certain threshold, it cuts out. That bothered the heck out of me too. I'll bet the segment came in between or after a talking segment on some show, and the sound people forgot to adjust 😭😭
Vous n'avez pas la chaîne Hi-Fi pour ça. Le rapport db/w/m des cloches est trop important.
When I was a kid many years ago, our church group visited a cathedral that had a carillon. We got up in the tower and watched it being played, very much like this. There was also a practice keyboard so that you won't embarrass yourself to the whole city. 60 years ago, still remember it clearly. We also got inside the wind chests of the organ.
Stupendous! I had never seen or heard a carillon before! The internet is a wonderful thing. Boudewijn Zwart is a master whom I hope has students so that he may pass along this talent. Thanks also to Chip Van Dyke for bringing this into my life. I am richer for it.
Ahhhh, finally! A keyboard for the player who’s always mad..., no reason, just literally about to lose his sh** at any given time :-)
Just perfect in every sense: taste, musicality, technical virtuosity, interpretational originality, transcription fully organic for the carillon and utilizing its full potential... Bravo!
This is absolutely amazing!!
I've never seen this instrument before!
Bravo!
It was great!
Thanks for the video.
So beautiful.
Wow. Heavy metal music that has class.
lol
Bravo ! Amazing; never heard this before. Thank You BZ.
Stunning!
Thanks for posting this fascinating video!
Amazing and fantastic.!!
Magnifique = un grand Merci!
BRAVOooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
GRACIAS TOTALESss!!!
THANKS million thousands thanks!!!
Prachtig gedaan, Boudewijn - wat een gevoel dat je daar inlegt, ongelooflijk.
Really nice. I have never heard a caroleur, much less seen the player perform as I listened to the bells. More exciting than watching a bell choir perform. Thank you for this video and wonderful listening experience. Very much up to the PEM standard of excellence.
Wonderful!!
Gee, just googled carillon music looking for a recording. Didn't expect the PEM to have recorded one in Westerkerk of all places. Good job guys!
Thank you. The reason you don't see more videos like this is very explainable - Carrying heavy video equipment up hundreds of steep tower stairs is NOT EASY!
Beautiful.
Amazing!!
Thanks for uploading!
Breathtaking.
Ganz hohen Respekt! Einfach nur "wow"!
Wowww... well done!
Amazing!
БРАВО!
That's that's incredible!!!!!!
Extraordinaire ! Bravo au Carillonneur!
Radio station 500 years ago :D
Fantastic
That must be one of the most hardes pieces of music to play, i have it on my ring tone and I certainly get a few heads turning when it rings. This is absolutely beautiful, such talent. 🙂.
magnifique!
Prachtig instrument den beiaard en dan nog zo een muziek stuk opspelen chapau.
Espetacular!!!
YES !! Very cool harmonics !
Amazing
I was today years old when I found out about what a carillon was by randomly listening to a “John Klein at the Carillon Americana..” Christmas record from the 1960s(?).
Pretty cool to find this piece when jumping down the rabbit hole
Bloody amazing. You have a finesse that most carillion players I've heard don't have.
Litt
The ringing in my ears has a tune. . .
Wonderful instrument and player.
AWSOME!!
Wow, amazing! I had no idea what I was getting into when I clicked on this video.
Bravo, Forte Maestro!
Wow! Amazing playing bells like an organ pedals
Incrível!♥️
Pianists: the fingering is kind of hard, you have to jump a lot
Carillonneur: hold my bell
Wow.. This was epic.
Amazing, very nice!I like!!!
Maravilloso!
Sensacional!!!!!!
Focking amazing!
Absolument remarquable,l'oeuvre d'origine garde son authenticité
Et met le carillon au rang d'instrument majeur
La mise en image du début est très réussie
Merci z l.éditeur de cette vidéo
Chapeau bas au carillon neur
Fantastisk instrument det klokkeværk. Flot spillet og en god lyd.......
Quite impressive!
Потрясающе!!!😍

Just, wow.
Maestro!
Que asombroso!!!
Очень замечательное исполнение и звучание инструмента!! Не думал, что такое возможно..
Тоже был удивлен......
Si consigues tocar a Bach con cualquier cosa, sonará bien, porque es Bach. Sorprendente
fantastico!
Complimenti!...😲👍👏👏👏
This is lit :) hello from Canada 🇨🇦
God can surely hear you play, Sir. My heart is still in my throat. Magnificent. A monster of an instrument.
A brilliant kind of urban music.
