It wasn't until i began playing a carillon of 23 bells that I took the need seriously. In 1988 after playing the 50 bell carillon at Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for over 20 years, we moved to Tennessee. The closest carillon was a recently installed instrument of 23 bells at Belmont College, Nashville.

It has been an interesting challenge to research music, arrange and adapt it to two octaves and to make it interesting for the performer and the listener. I have found that music for the small carillon can be just as rewarding as music for larger instruments; the difference is having fewer bells to work with.

This collection is some of the fruits of the labor of the past two years. I wish to thank Dr. Jerry Warren, Dean of the School of Music, and Dr. Richard Shadinger, Chairman of the Performing Arts Department, for their support and encouragement with my endeavors with the carillon at Belmont College. The Belmont Carillon Book, Volume I is hopefully the beginning of more to come. May the selections be useful to others who play, and will have the opportunity to play a small carillon.

The selections cover a range of difficulty. There are selections for the beginner as well as some for the experienced player. For uniformity, all selections in this collection are notated in the range:

The carillon at Belmont College has 23 bells, weighing 1,188 pounds to 58 pounds. The pedalboard extends 1.5 octaves. For those playing instruments with only one octave pedal range, some occasional adjusting will be necessary.

Just as with larger carillons, some music lends itself better to heavier or lighter instruments. This is also true with the small instrument. However, with the material contained in this book, may there be "something for everyone."
