DESCRIPTION

Features the story of the carillon and a biography bellfounder Cyril Johnston who introduced the carillon to North America. This book combines features the author's investigations of such bells as the Laura Spelman Rockefeller carillon at Riverside Church in New York City.
Jill Johnston has written a magisterial biography of her father, the English bellfounder Cyril F. Johnston (1884-1950), an homage to his life and the craft of bellfounding. During his time, he developed such a passion for his vocation that, almost single-handedly, he turned it into a profession celebre. Exemplars of his triumphs are the Laura Spelman Rockefeller 72-bell Carillon at Riverside Church in New York City, and the Peace Tower 53-bell carillon in Ottawa, Canada.
