1995 GCNA Congress

The 53rd Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North
America was held at Princeton University, June 21-25, 1995. Robin Austin,
Carillonneur of Princeton University, served as host. There were 114 registered
participants representing Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Ireland, The
Netherlands, and the USA. The Congress served as a commemoration of Professor
Arthur Lynds Bigelow (1910-1967), Princeton's first carillonneur and one of
America's first campanologists. Bigelow hosted GCNA Congresses at Princeton in
1946 and 1966.

Tradition and Development

A concert by Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini and Gustav Leonhardt at the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, held on October 27, 2000, provided the inspiration for writing an article on the historical Italian organ, its tradition and development. My goal is to give a panoramic view of the subject, and anyone knows that when looking at a panoramic view much of the detail is lost. Still, such an attempt is worth carrying out because some general guidelines can in any case be drawn. To do so, it is necessary to go back a number of centuries and try to understand the original role of the organ in the musical world of Italian churches.
