A Day Trip to Mechelen, Belgium
A few years ago my boyfriend told me he would take me to the Martin's Patershof Hotel in Mechelen for my birthday. We decided that we would turn it into a little sight seeing adventure around the city.
What's there to see? Well, not so much. But still... it was a great little trip.

Christchurch Cathedral Tower's Big Bell
By Whom the Bells Toll | Narratively
Born in Manhattan on February 10, 1931, Dionisio Lind has been The Riverside Church's main carillonneur since 2000. Carillons originated in the European low countries in the sixteenth century, and according to the World Carillon Federation, they must have at least twenty-three bronze bells and must form a fully chromatic scale. The carillonneur plays on a keyboard using his or her fists to play the keys, known as batons, and stepping on a pedal keyboard.
Having grown up playing piano and listening to jazz and gospel, Lind first learned to play the carillon in the 1950s from a Dutchman hired to play at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Harlem, where Lind was baptized. The church eventually sent Lind to study at the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium, where he trained for six months in the 1960s. He held the carillonneur position at St. Martin's for twenty-five years.
Lind first played at Riverside Church, home to one of the world's largest carillons, in 1971 for the funeral of prominent civil rights leader Whitney Moore Young. In 2000 he was asked to come on board as Riverside's principal carillonneur.
Officially The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon, the instrument was gifted to the church by John D. Rockefeller Jr., in memory of his mother, and installed in 1932. With seventy-four solid bronze bells, it weights over 100 tons and is the world's first to range five musical octaves. The church's tower rises 392 feet and has an open-air observation deck right above the carillons, providing a 360-degree view of the city, although it has been closed to the public since 2001.
Lind performs recitals on Sundays at 10:30, 12:30 and 3:00 p.m.

Les inscriptions sur les cloches sont reproduites dans l'église, mais ne coïncident malheureusement pas. Nous n'avons pas assez de photos pour entièrement reconstituer le texte. Les parties manquantes mais qu'on peut deviner sont en vert, les parties vraiment manquantes et où les inscirptions dans l'église ne sont pas fiables sont marquées avec ??? Certains passages mentionnés dans l'église paraissent improbables parce qu'ils sont nettement plus longs que ce que l'espace non-photographié permet. Les poids ne sont pas mentionnés sur les cloches. Par contre le fondeur est mentionné. Le poids de 525 kg pour cloche 2 parait très improbable. Mon estimation est plutot de 800 à 1000 kg.
De opschriften op de klokken die in de kerk uithangen, kloppen niet. Ik had te weinig foto's genomen in de toren om alle opschriften volledig op te tekenen. Ik heb getracht de opschriften te reconstrueren aan de hand van de foto's en aan te vullen (in het groen) met wat logischerwijze zou kunnen staan aan de hand van de teksten die in de kerk uithangen. Sommige passages lijken echter onwaarschijnlijk, omdat ze beduidend langer zijn dan het stuk dat lijkt te ontbreken op de foto's. De gewichten staan niet op de klokken aangegeven. Daarentegen staat wel de gieter vermeld. Het opgegeven gewicht van 525 kg voor klok 2 lijkt op zijn minst onwaarschijnlijk. Mijn schatting is een gewicht van 800 tot 1000 kg.
The inscriptions on the bells are posted in the church but are unfortunately wrong. I had not taken enough picture to reconstruct the complete text. Missing parts that could be guessed are marked in green. Missing parts are marked with ????

Antwerp cathedral bells: whole peal / Klokken kathedraal Antwerpen: feestgelui
First we hear the Karolus, after 1'40 joined by the Grote Lofklok. The whole peal starts around 4'00. The bells are ringing on occasion of Assumption of Mary.
The tower of Our Lady Cathedral houses one of the largest and heaviest bell ensembles of Belgium. The bells represent no less than five centuries of bell casting art of the historic Netherlands. In particular, the bells Karolus and Mary are among the finest of the past and present.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the tower housed two carillons, owned by respectively the city of Antwerp and the cathedral. The cathedral carillon had fallen into disuse. It was, except for the ringing bells, removed from the tower in the first half of the twentieth century.
During the 1930s there were changes made to the bell chair of the cathedral tower. As an unfortunate consequence, the two largest belles, Karolus and Thomas, were hung so that they risk to hit each other when rung simultaneously. Fortunately the bells stayed undamaged after such an accident. Consequently they never ring together.
The removed cathedral carillon bells were hung after the Second World War in the rebuilt tower of St. Catherine Church in Hoogstraten. The smallest remaining ringing bells of the Cathedral were replaced as well by two new ones that would fit better in the ensemble.
The tower would certainly deserve a new bell chair that would do justice to this exceptional ensemble.

James Ensor Marche des Rotariens Ostendais for piano
sheet music available;
近代ベルギーを代表する画家ジェイムズ・アンソール（1860～1949）が1923年に作曲したピアノ曲。彼が残しているいくつかの音楽作品の中では、これが一番まとまりがよく、楽想も魅力的だと思われる。
当時、出版されていた楽譜には間違いが多いので、校正した上で見やすく浄書した。
アンソールは骸骨や仮面をモチーフとした絵画作品が有名だが、この「オステンド・ロータリークラブのマーチ」はベルギー・チョコレートのテーマ曲にでもしたら似合いそうな、幸福感にあふれた音楽である。
James Ensor as Musician
Blanche Rousseau, Maurice des Ombiaux, Paul Haesaerts, Karel Jonckheere, Emma Lambotte and others have described how Ensor could entertain company in a comic manner by playing a pennywhistle in one of his nostrils, and with imposing, hilarious and fearsome improvisations played out on the piano.
Ensor was musically active already in the 1880's. The oldest composition of his that is preserved is the waltz Enlacements, dated 1905. Pietro Lanciani, who directed concerts in Ostend with Ensor's favourite dance and amusement music, revised a few of Ensor's pieces for symphonic orchestra and before the first World War had already given a few performances.
In 1906, the collectors Albin and Emma Lambotte presented the artist with a harmonium. Ensor composed various musical pieces that he collated into a six-part work for ballet, which he completed in 1911. La Gamme d'Amour consists out of the following parts: (1) Flirt des marionettes (1907), (2) Lento and Andante or Complainte et Berceuse, (3) Gamme d'amour (false), (4) Marche funèbre, (5) Enlacements (1905), (6) Pour une orgue de Barbarie (1911).
In these years, Ensor would from time to time attend concerts as the performer of his own piano pieces. He could not score his own compositions- as he played by memory-, and he played in an unorthodox way, with outstretched fingers, primarily the black keys of the keyboard. His music was scored and revised for symphonic orchestra by other musicians such as Michel Brusselmans and Georges Vriamont.
Ensor took his musical work very seriously. Without success, he undertook a few attempts to have the ballet La Gamme d'amour performed in the Théâtre des Champs Elysées or by La compagnie des Ballets russes, both in Paris. He complained about Brusselmans's orchestration of his composition that it would weaken its progressive character. Ensor related repeatedly that some musicians had at times compared his musical inventiveness with Claude Debussy (1862-1918). The prominent Belgian organ virtuoso, professor at the Antwerp conservatory, Brussels and Mechelen and international acclaimed composer, Auguste De Boeck, can but bring a mild praise for what he calls Ensor's simple dance tunes.
La Gamme d'amour was played for the first time by a student group of the Ostend music academy in 1917 and was consequently directed by Léon Delcroix in the exhibition hall in Brussels where George Giroux in 1920 organised a restrospective of Ensor's plastic work. François Franck financed the first full performance of the ballet for which Ensor also had indeed designed a staging, costumes and decor. With the choreography of Sonia Korty and under the direction of Flor Bosmans, Poppenliefde premiered on 27 March 1924 in the Royal Flemish Opera in Antwerp. In 1927, François Gaillard directed a few performances in the Théâtre Royal in Liège. There also exist sung variations and versions for fanfare, carillon and harp.
For the occasion of the grand retrospective in 1929 in the Brussels Palace of Fine Arts, Georges Vriamont secured the publication of an album with the staging, the score for piano and lithographs with the most important personages from the ballet. Furthermore, still two more compositions from the 1920's are known.
