Carillonneur entertains classbound students
(Continued' from Page 1)
tration he exhibits while playing the
carillon.,
On the ninth floor of the "miniature
skyscraper" is Ladd's comfortable,
living room type studio. Ladd become
University carillonneur in 1971 and sin-
ce that time he's been trying to educate
people on the art of the carillon.
Ladd studied at the Netherlands
Carillon School in Ame'rsfoort, Holland
and was the first American to win the
Prix d' Excellence - considered by
European authorities to be equivalent
to a Ph.D. in the art. He opened up the;
first degree curriculum for the carillon
here at the University. It is the only
carillon curriculum in North America
today.
THE UNIVERSITY'S carillon, which
was dedicated on December 4, 1936, is
the third heaviest in the world. The 55
bronze bells located in the bell chamber
weigh a total of 68 tons.
Ladd said the carillon will soon have
67 bells which will become the world's
only carillon incorporating the entire
bell range available from the John
Taylor and Company Bellfoundry of
Loughborough, England.
Besides regular performance on the
carillon, Ladd takes on the respon-
sibilities of teaching, public relations,
maintenance supervisor, and ad-
ministrator.
"We don't want to promote the 'ivory

tower' concept of the past, that the in-
strument belongs to me and no one else,
but we want to educate people about the
carillon and its music," Ladd said.
LADD SUCCEEDED Prof. Percival
Price who was University carillonneur
from .1939 to 1971. Price established the
first credit courses in carillon instruc-
tion at the university level. Ladd
currently has four students studying
the Carillon and one of them is
majoring in it.
"I'm trying to establish a serious
academic approach to the carillon,"
said Ladd. He accepts five to eight
Music School students a year into the
carillon program after each student has
auditioned and interviewed with Ladd.
Ladd said he is very selective and
looks for students with qualities such as
musicianship, keyboard acquaintance,
and open ideas of the carillon. "There's
a psychological factor involved in being
a carillonneur, I have to make sure a
student has his head together."
THE UNIVERSITY carillonneur
and/or his students regularly perform
from .12-1:00 p.m. and 5-6:00 p.m.,
which are the two performance times
set aside by the University each day.
"Since these times are often lessons for
the more advanced students, we take
brief pauses to talk about inter-
pretation," said Ladd.
According to Ladd, there are three
styles of'music which are played on the
carillon.. There are the carillon com-
positions written specifically for the in-
strument, transcriptions and
arrangements, and the popular idiom.,

"Lately, the most requested piece has
been 'Summer Fanfares,' a carillon
composition written by Roy Hamlin
Johnson, but before that, the most
requested piece was 'The Entertainer'
from the movie The Sting. Requests
come in but it's not a policy," said
Ladd.
Ladd's studio houses many in-
teresting objects. Among the awards,
diplomas, photographs, and small
bells, is a map of the United States
laden with tiny pins designating where
various carillon\s are located,
"Carillons are more concentrated
along the East Coast Corridor and
Midwest, perhaps because of a greater
affluence," Ladd speculated.
CARILLONING IN North America is
still a relatively new form of art. The
first carillon carme to America in 1922
according to some authoritie. In
Europe, the art dates back almost 400
years. But Ladd says the carillon art in
the two geographical areas has taken
divergent but parallel directions.
"The art of the carillon is not directly
an import from Europe but it developed
on its own in America. It started with a
set, of stationary bells, called the
American Chime which was rung in the
manner of the Continental Peal, hence,
swinging bells," explained Ladd.
According to Ladd, there's a general
misunderstandipg regarding the
carillon. "The art of the carillon is
relatively new in our country and its
tapid growth offers great possibilities.
By its very nature the carillon is an
isolatory instrument You can't go to it
because it's placed high in a tower.
Therefore, it's heard but unseen, and
because of this, very few people know
about it."
THEREFORE, LADD accepts the
socio-music.al responsibility of the
carillon. He trys to shy away from per-
sonal tastes and incorporate 'a wider
scope of music.
Unfortunately, an elaborate alarm
system had to be installed-in the tower
two years ago after someone had
broken into the bell chamber and car-
ved their initials on the seven-and-a-
half ton bell. Ladd said, "It's like a
mountain, if it's there, people are going
to climb it. The alarm system was in-
stalled not to be inhospitable, but to
make the instrument more secure to in-
sure continuence of its 40-year
tradition."
Ladd said, "I hope my performances.
and that of my students will continue'
generating. the interest shown by the
people for their carillon, for it is true
that the carillon does not belong just to
the University, taut to all that hear it."
Ann Arborites will have a chance to
learn more about a related art form this
June when 500 hand-bell'ring'ers come
to town for a convention.

a Solar Eclipse.
Unless you live in the Great
JuscI Beer.Northwest, the eclipse you see will
be partial, obscuring all but a thin crescent of the sun.
As the moon slips silently between earth and sun,
everything darkens, and the sky turns a deep, rich
shade of blue.
Sound interesting? It will be. A
solar blackout, even partial, is one of
nature 's most spectacular events.
