About Carillons. A carillon is a musical instrument composed of at least 23 carillon bells, arranged in chromatic sequence, so tuned as to produce concordant harmony when many bells are sounded together. It is played from a keyboard that allows expression through variation of touch. The keys are struck with the half-closed hand.
The author of the original words âAh ! Ã§a ira, Ã§a ira, Ã§a iraâ, LadrÃ©, was a former soldier who made a living as street singer. The words became popular on the street prior to the revolution. The music is a popular contredanse air called le Carillon national, and was composed by BÃ©court, a violinist of the thÃ©Ã¢tre Beaujolais.
