University Carillonneur-
Arranges Own Music
Playing the Sunday carillon concerts represents just a small part of the actual work of Ronald Barnes, University carillonneur and music theory instructor, here. Barnes not only plays the carillon, but he must first rearrange all the music he uses.
Since there are about 100 carillons in North America and about 300 in the world, carillon music cannot be bought, Mr. Barnes said. A set of music for one carillon must be changed to accommodate the different sizes of keyboards on other carillons.
Music Like Piano
Music arranged by Mr. Barnes is similar in appearance to piano music. The hands on the keyboard are used to play the treble clef and the bass clef is played by the feet on the pedals below the keyboard.
To practice his Sunday concerts, a separate keyboard with the same structure as the carillon keyboard has been devised, which causes small metal bars to produce tones. The keyboard is in Mr. Barnes' office about halfway up the tower.
"My favorite practice time is Sunday mornings before the concert," Mr. Barnes said. During this early practice, he picks his concert and plans the sequence of the day's selections.
Large Repertoire
Because of many requests, here and elsewhere, he must keep a large working repertoire. Often, for concerts elsewhere, he must arrange his music to fit the keyboard after he arrives.
He began playing the carillon as an occupation when he was the organist in high school at the Plymouth Congregational Church in Lincoln, Neb. He was asked to play the carillon along with organ duties at the church. As he became more interested, he abandoned his organ studies.
Mr. Barnes graduated from the University of Nebraska and received a M.A. degree at Stanford. While at Stanford, he was campus carillonneur. In 1948, he studied with the carillonneur of the Dominion Carillon in Parliament in Ottawa, Canada.
After studying in Canada, he came here and began to teach the instrument. He now has one student.

The coffee is prepared in the Student Union and the doughnuts, made in a new automatic machine, are pre-packaged.
Probably the reason for the success of the service is the time it saves. Instead of going to the Union where they might waste a whole morning, students can take a break in half the time.
