6. SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT Spirituals
NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN
The character of bells gives ne wmeaning to folk tunes,
whether secular or religious, and spirituals are no exception.
They seem to "fit" the bells.

7. WHERE'ER YOU WALK Handel
Handel's measured grace lends itself easily to the carillon.
It can surely be said that Handel, in this number, approaches
the sublime.

8. MOMENT MUSICAL Schubert
A direct contrast to the number above. Here the carillon is
played in quick tempo, in light and mirthful spirit.

9. O SUSANNAH Southern Melodies
MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
DIXIE
These numbers need no comment. They are given a new in-
terpretation on the carillon.

10. POSTLUDIUM IN G-MINOR Denijn
This is just one of many compositions by the former bellmaster
of the town of Mechlin, Belgium, and found of the Carillon
School. Its style is very free, its rhythm and mood often
changing. It is quiet; it is lusty. It runs all over the keyboard,
sets the whole belfry to rocking, and end in resonant chords,
each note trying to outlive the other.

11. LULLABY Brahms
This simple music seems composed just for the carillon.
Played in melody, played in harmony, it is never more beauti-
ful than when expressed on bells.
