Thomas Rees Memorial Carillon, Washington Park, Springfield, Illinois 2010/6/24
This performance was at approximately 1:40 PM today. The reason I don't look up at the carillon for a while is that I only meant to record the waves from the fountain. As luck would have it, though, the operator started playing right as I started recording, so I just went with it. If you live anywhere in Sangamon County and you *haven't* gone to Washington Park, you really ought to; it's a beautiful place. I hope you enjoy the video!
PS: If anyone could tell me the name of the piece being played, I'd really appreciate it.

Still Alive on Storke Tower carillon (bell tower)
Because it had to be done.
An abridged arrangement of Still Alive (theme from Portal) by Jonathan Coulton, on the 61-bell carillon at the top of the 175-ft Storke Tower on the UCSB campus.
Arranged and performed by Greg Courville, with instructor Margo Halsted at the pedals.
I am compelled to point out that, under the control of a competent musician, the carillon is capable of making music that is orders of magnitude more interesting than what you're hearing here. For those who may be offended by the abuse of such a magnificent instrument, please keep in mind that I had only ever laid hands on these batons a few times prior.
