WelcomeWelcomeFrom The Carillonneur

Welcome to christ church cranbrook and the 86th summer carillon series

On behalf of Music at Christ Church Cranbrook, welcome to our 2014 Summer Carillon Series. We are delighted you have chosen to spend a part of your Sunday afternoon with us and know you will enjoy listening to our guest musicians play the 50-bell carillon at Christ Church Cranbrook.

Our six-program series includes duets by two carillonneurs from The Netherlands, the return of several carillonneurs who have joined us in the past and the addition to two newcomers. Choices of music are

wide-ranging and will include improvisation as well as tunes the players themselves have arranged for the instrument.

We will offer tower tours following programs on July 6 and August 10. If there is enough interest, we are happy to accommodate guests on other Sundays as well.

As in the past, we invite you to come early and take a docent-led tour of the beautiful Christ Church Cranbrook sanctuary, with its magnificent carved wood, stained-glass windows and artifacts. Informal tours are available beginning at 3 PM. Just step inside.

Again, thank you for coming. We hope you will join us every Sunday during our 86th season. We’ll be here rain or shine. In case of rain, the instrument can be heard in the sanctuary.

From all of us at Christ Church Cranbrook, welcome!

Cordially,

Jenny KingCarillonneur, Christ Church Cranbrook

AboutAbout

Christ Church Cranbrook

christ church cranbrook is an Episcopal expression of the Christian Faith. We invite you to worship with us Saturdays at 5 PM and Sundays at 8 AM, 10 AM and 6 PM.

Beginning at 3:00 PM each Sunday, a docent will be on hand to answer any questions about the Church and to lead a mini-tour of the sanctuary before the concert. In the event of rain, everyone is invited into the church to listen to the recital. Refreshments are served weekly under the event tent. Tower tours will be held on Sunday July 6 and August 10.

HistoryHistory

Christ Church Cranbrook Carillon

plans for a carillon at christ church cranbrook were taking shape as early as 1925—before ground was broken for the place of worship. It was decided that the tower in the designs for the new church could, and should hold bells. Carillons were enjoying a new-found vogue in the US in the twenties and thirties.

Harold Lindsay Wallace and his wife Grace Booth Wallace (daughter of Cranbrook founders George and Ellen Booth) purchased a 25-bell carillon already cast and offered for sale by John Taylor & Co. Bellfoundry, Loughborough, England. An order was also placed with Taylor for 16 additional bells, followed by another five bells.

With 46 bells, the carillon was installed in the new church and formally dedicated in September, 1928 by Anton Brees, Carillonneur of Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Wales, Florida. Mr. Brees returned to Cranbook each summer to play a series of recitals, thus starting the tradition of the Annual Summer Carillon Recital Series.

In 1929, additional bells were added to the carillon raising the total to 49. Thirty-five new, replacement bells were installed in 1978, and the instrument’s total climbed to 50 bells. A decade ago we replaced 14 treble bells. Detroit News, Sunday, September 30, 1928.
