Carillon recital Canberra Australia
A gentle tune was being played on the carillon at 1100 hrs on a winter's morning Wednesday 17 June 2009 as I cycled past. A recital occurs each hour. The Carillon lives on Aspen Island in Lake Burley Griffin. It was a gift from the British people in 1970 to mark Canberra's 50th birthday. It has 55 bells. I managed to capture this on my camera with a little of the beautiful Canberra scenery

Country: Australia • Region: Canberra (ACT)
Located on Aspen Island, Lake Burley Griffin, the National Carillon was a gift from the British Government to the people of Australia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Capital. Queen Elizabeth II accepted the National Carillon on behalf of Australians on 26 April 1970.
John Douglas Gordon after whom the Aspen Island footbridge is now named played the inaugural recital. With 53 bronze bells the National Carillon is large by world standards. The pitch of the bells ranges chromatically through four and a half octaves. The bells each weigh between seven kilograms and six tonnes. Cast in England by John Taylor & Co. they are fine examples of the art of bell founding.
The National Carillon tower rises to a height of 50 metres, allowing the music of the bells to drift across Lake Burley Griffin and through Kings and Commonwealth Parks. The tower is lit at night, providing a magnificent landmark in the National Capital. Recitals are performed throughout the year by local and visiting carillonists. All styles of music are represented, from arrangements of popular songs to compositions specially written for the Carillon.
