KU chimes need repair
Just as the bells of KU's carillon have toled the time for 39 years, time has taken its toll on the carillon.
By Jean Williams Special to the Kansas
Special to the Kansan
Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music and dance and assistant university carillonneur, said that the deterioration of the carillon had become severe enough to eliminate several favorite compositions from programming. The diminished tunability of the instrument was difficult to play some pieces, which are considered standard repertoire for carillons.
Before leaving this summer for a two-and-one-half month concert tour of Holland and Belgium, University Carillonneur Albert Gerken, who is also a professor of music and dance, told Holmberg that if restoration work was not under way by the end of the fall semester, the 1991 Guild of Carillonneurs of North America Conference that was to be held here would have to be cancelled, Holmberg said.
Inviting the guild here would be like asking a top concert pianist to perform on a piano that had not been tuned in five years. Holmbera said
The $3 bell carillon, housed in the campanile, needs a major overhaul, estimated to cost from $300,000 to $500,000. he said.
The keyboards on both the carilion and the practice instrument, the system of steel rods that controls the bell clappers, the clapper bearings, the rusted bolts that hold the bells, the rotted leather bushings that insulate the keys, and the matching framework and most of the clappers should be replaced, he said.
After being struck by the clappers in the same spot for 39 years, the bells are thinner at those points, and the sides of some of the clappers have flattened. Holmberg said. The sound of the clappers and disorted by these deformities.
In an attempt to correct the problem, Gerken has resorted to filing the clappers to round the flattened sides. Holmberg said deterioration of the insulation had caused the bells to lose their tonal clarity.
The renovation request, which Gerken initiated in 1984, was initially estimated to cost $220,000. After consultation with a carlson expert in 1987, an updated estimate gave a revised figure of $300,000. Holmberg estimated that cost might now be $500,000.
John Scarffe, director of public relations for both the Kansas University Endowment Association and Campaign Kansas, said this summer 2000 for the renovation project was an objective of Campaign Kansas
Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year, $177 million fund-raising drive.
Scarife read the following statement from Jim Martin, executive director of Campaign Kansas: "We have received several generous but modest gifts for Campaign Kansas and the renovation is currently under consideration by several prospects in the campaign. Our hope is to fund this through a single gift, if possible, but there has been no broad-based
The World War II Carillon and Campanile stands on the hill overlooking Memorial Stadium
The problem is that the carillon falls between the cracks in the University system, Holmberg said.
The campanile, which is the tower housing the carillon, Memorial Drive and the surrounding landscaping, all
were given to the University as a World War II memorial.
Friends, families and alumni contributed to the fund to honor 276 KU students and faculty who died in the war. Each of the 53 bells is engraved with the name of the person in whose honor that bell was donated. The
names of the donors and of those honored are also listed on the bronze panels in the memorial room at the base of the tower.
Of the 80 carvils in the country, KU's ranks as one of the finest and is set in the most favorable surroundings. Holmberg said.
