Good question! Audience sits outside, in the surrounding lawns, streets, courtyards, parks, or wherever the bells can be heard. For formal concerts, usually there's a designated listening place outside with printed programs.
Hey Joey I LOVED this video. I went to Guadalajara and heard what I thought was an organ but turned out to be a carillon with INSANE sustain. Never heard anything like it. I recorded a little bit before church personnel told me I couldn’t record :( so I’ve always wondered what it a carillon like up close. Love to see more like this :) Also-can you do a video on the carillon music of Pieter Bustijn? I read his wiki and see that he was also a carillon player but I can’t find much on his work. It’d be cool if you can showcase some of his work. Thanks!
Thank you! While Pieter Bustijn was a carillon player, it's unlikely that he ever wrote specifically for carillon. Very little carillon music was written in the 17th and 18th centuries by anyone. Most carillon players at that time instead played arrangements of works for other instruments, folk tunes, and religious hymns. The primary exception is Mathias van den Gheyn. If you do find anything, though, do let me know!
@@joeybrinkbells Makes sense now that you explain it. I appreciate mentioning Mattias I haven't heard of him before. Keep up the awesome carillon content! :)
at Lier there is also have 52 Bells at St-Gummaruskerk in Lier Belgium, and Steenokkerzeel also.
That’s so cool!
How does a concert work? Do you sit up there with an audience in the church? Obviously the bells can be heard from elsewhere!
