Programme Notes:

1. John Knox is a world-renowned British composer and arranger for the carillon. Solemnis Haec Festivitas was originally composed for the three-octave carillon of York Minster.

2. Louis Guglielmi was a Catalan musician of Italian extraction who wrote under the non de plume Louigay. He wrote the melody for Edith Piaf’s song “La Vie en Rose”.

3. Aupres de ma blonde is a popular French chanson dating from the 17th century. This arrangement is by the American carillonneur Milford Mhyre.

4, 5. El testament d’Amélia is a famous Catalan folksong originally arranged for guitar by Miquel Llobet (1878-1938). Miquel Llobet Solés was a classical guitarist and composer, born in Barcelona.  Both these pieces were arranged for carillon by Leen ‘t Hart, and published in his “Volksliederen IV: 50 Catalan folksongs”.

6. The Scottish Students Songbook was published in 1897 by Bayley and Ferguson, for the Songbook Committee of the Students Representative Councils of Scotland. It contains vocal scores of hundreds of student songs, collected and recorded by a committee of four Scottish universities. The book contains an introduction by John Stuart Blackie, dated May 1891, with the preface dated November 1897. There are 9 sections: Songs of the Gown, Songs of the Nations, Soldier Songs and Sea songs, Songs of Love, Songs of Revelry, Divers Ditties, Plantation Songs, For Auld Lang Syne, Songs of the Universities. The lyrics to the Spanish Guitar commence with:

When I was a student at Cadiz
I played on the Spanish guitar
I used to make love to the ladies
I think of them still from afar.

7. Flucie H.A. van Bergen (1893-1963) was city carillonneur of Sneek, The Netherlands. This piece was written for a two-octave carillon.

8. J.H. Fiocco was director of music at Antwerp Cathedral (d. 1749). He was a composer of several volumes of harpsichord music which were published in Brussels in 1746. This Andante appeared in a famous collection of carillon music by Joannes de Gruytters.

10. Marjory Kennedy-Fraser (1857–1930) was a Scottish singer, composer and arranger. She visited many of the Western Isles, recording the traditional songs with a wax cylinder phonograph. Her arrangements of the songs were published in her three-volume Songs of the Hebrides.

12,13. These arrangements are published by Adrian Gebruers in the Irish Carillon Book II
14. This composition by John Knox is dedicated to Clifford Ball (1899-1986), one-time carillonneur of Bournville.
