| Abstract: | The carillon is considered to be the world's largest musical instrument, made up of at least 23 bronze bells and the particular keyboard that plays them. The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Carillon donated to the University of Chicago and installed in 1932 has 72 bells and is the second largest carillon in the world. Wylie Crawford has been the University carillonneur since 1984, and this collection of carilloniana was compiled by him. The collection contains concert programs, publicity, news clippings, correspondence, pamphlets and brochures on carillons all over the world, books and serial publications dedicated to the carillon and bells, carillonneur association bulletins and newsletters, conference materials, and audio-visual materials, all dating from 1898 to 2012, with the bulk of the material dating from the 1970s to the 2010s. The collection primarily documents the history of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Carillon and carillonneurs' activities in North America and Europe. |

The carillon is considered to be the world's largest (or at least heaviest) musical instrument, and contains at least 23 bronze bells (or a two-octave range). It is usually housed in a bell tower and is played by striking the batons and foot pedals of a special keyboard that connects to each bell's clapper. Bell-tuning techniques were developed mainly in the Low Countries in the mid-17th century, and bell foundries and carillons flourished afterward in Britain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Starting around the middle of the 20th century, the United States experienced a boom in carillon interest, building towers and importing bells for university campuses, civic centers, and city parks. Today, carillonneurs can be members of numerous international and regional associations which organize outreach efforts and allow for discussions of performance technique, of the history of the instrument and its present and future states, and of the idiomatic music composed for the carillon. A large part of this collection documents the history and proceedings of many of these national and international professional organizations of carillonneurs.
The carillon donated to the University of Chicago chapel by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and installed in 1932, known as the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Carillon (named after the donor's mother), is the second largest carillon in the world. Its sister carillon in New York's Riverside Church (with the same name, donor, and from the same foundry) was built around the same time and eventually included two more bells than Chicago. Never before had carillons of this size been built, and they proved to be the masterworks of the British bell foundry Gillett & Johnston. The collection of the University of Chicago carillon bells took three years to cast and is comprised of 72 bells (6 octaves) and over 100 tons of bronze, with the largest bourdon bell weighing in at 18.5 tons and sounding a low C#. Since the 1930s, the various, successive University carillonneurs have led concerts and festivals, programmed regular recitals, led student teaching, and been the visible representatives of this extraordinary instrument. More recently, the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Carillon underwent major restoration from 2006 to 2008.
Wylie Crawford has been the University carillonneur since 1984, and this collection of carilloniana was compiled by him. After growing up in New York and earning a degree in Physics from Antioch College, Mr. Crawford came back to his native Illinois to earn an MA in Teaching at the University of Chicago. Here, he became intrigued when he heard the music coming from the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel's carillon and soon began learning to play the instrument, joining the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America by 1974. Mr. Crawford achieved full carillonneur membership in the Guild in 1977, and has since served on various committees and been an active member of both the Guild and the World Carillon Federation, of which he is currently president (as of 2012). Most of the items in this collection were collected by Mr,Crawford and document a wide span of carillon activities and the carillonneur professions of many different regions all over the world, as well as the history of the instrument. Some materials also demonstrate Mr. Crawford's personal connections to these activities, professionals, associations, and the instrument's long tradition.
The Carilloniana Collection is organized into nine series: Series I: University of Chicago Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon; Series II: Carillons by Region; Series III: Regional and International Professional Carillon Organizations, Congresses, and Festivals; Series IV: Monographs; Series V: Serials; Series VI: Memorabilia; Series VII: Audio-Visual; Series VIII: Oversize; Series IX: Restricted. The collection contains concert programs and publicity, news articles, correspondence, an exhibit catalogue; informational pamphlets, tourism brochures, concert and series programs, correspondence, news articles; congress materials, bulletins and newsletters, festival brochures; various books on carillons and bells; serial publications in Nordic languages, Dutch, and English dedicated to carillon; a souvenir trivet; a CD and two L-P records; and oversize concert posters and news clippings.
Materials date between 1898 and 2012, with the bulk of the material dating between the 1970s and 2010s.
Series I, University of Chicago Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon, contains materials documenting the dedication, concert life, and renovation of the carillon at the University of Chicago Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. This includes correspondence and a descriptive guide on the carillon at the time of its conception (1928) and dedication (1932), a photo of the bells at the Gillett and Johnston Foundry, pamphlets and programs documenting both important concert events and regular recital series, and numerous news articles on the carillon, its concerts, renovation, and the carillonneurs who play its bells. This first series also includes a catalogue for an exhibit marking the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel's 75th anniversary and miscellaneous correspondence of Wylie Crawford documenting his role as university carillonneur and instructor.
Series II, Carillons by Region, contains diverse materials about carillons all over the world and is organized by North American regions (east to west, then Canada), European countries alphabetically, and lastly Australia and New Zealand. The series starts with general-subject materials including magazine and scholarly articles on bells, the carillon, and the organ and a compiled world list of carillons from 2011. The regional materials include many brochures and pamphlets on specific carillons, festival and recital programs, news articles about specific carillons and carillonneurs, and some correspondence and personal notes documenting Wylie Crawford's international carillonneur network.
Series III, Regional and International Professional Carillon Organizations, Congresses, and Festivals, includes materials relating to carillon associations both in North America and Europe, with the bulk of the series consisting of newsletters, bulletins, and congress materials describing the organizations' activities and news. This series is divided into four subseries: Guild of Carillonneurs in North America; General International Congresses, Schools, and Festivals; Regional Organizations; and World Carillon Federation.
Series IV, Monographs, includes a variety of books on bells and carillons, methods of playing, well-known bell foundries, and famous carillonneurs. Some include beautiful illustrations and interesting photographs. Also of interest is a quaint, yet informative, children's introduction to bells and their history, Helen Jill Fletcher's The First Book of Bells. Lastly, Jill Johnston's edition of her aunt Nora Johnston's memoir seems a promising read about the fascinating life of the first professional Englishwoman carillonneur.
Series V, Serials, contains academic journals dedicated to the carillon and published by the Dutch and Nordic Associations of Carillonneurs, as well as an article on bell history published in the Alfred University Bulletin.
Series VI, Memorabilia, contains a souvenir trivet depicting the University of Michigan's Burton Tower and dedicated on the back to Mr. Crawford from Margo Halsted, carillonneur of the University of Michigan for many years.
Series VII, Audio-Visual, includes a CD and booklet on the Gdańsk, Poland carillons, two L-P records featuring carillon music, and a large photograph of Springfield, IL's Rees Carillon.
Series VIII, Oversize, contains news and magazine clippings as well as a couple of Rockefeller Memorial Chapel concert posters.
Series IX, Restricted, contains restricted correspondence on personnel and donations. Materials are restricted for fifty years from date of record creation.
