City honors Gerken for carillon playing

"It was kind of a nice award," Gerken said yesterday. "I was rather surprised."
The award is presented monthly at City Commission meetings by the Lawrence Arts Commission.
Gerken is starting his 20th year of playing KU's carillon, which was dedicated in May of 1951

"We have really one of the finest carillons" he said.
educated in May 1987.

Even after 22 years of playing the carillon, Gerken said he has not fully mastered the instrument.
"I always like to think that one has never completely learned everything," he said.
Gerken studied the organ in college, but he now devotes most of his playing time to the carillon.
"At one point in my life I decided that I wanted to spend the bulk of my time learning about the instrument," he said.
Playing the carillon, which requires the use of both hands and feet, is not necessarily tiring, but does require a lot of energy, he said.
Gerken spends 50 percent of his time working in the music department and devotes the rest of his time to the carillon. He is responsible for calling the carillon program, including the instrument's maintenance.
"My main interest is to take the facility I have and keep it in top-notch working order," he said.
Playing the carillon is different from playing in a regular recital hall or concert. Kenken said.
One of the main differences is that Gerken rarely sees his audience. He said this forced him to concentrate on the music, rather than using some visual trick or presentation to attract the audience's attention.
"The music is the ultimate medium of communication. It has to be purely through the art form. I'm really enthusiastic about my art and thoroughly enjoy it."
Gerken gives recitals on the carillon twice a week, at 7 p.m. Wednesdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. A recital lasts about 45 minutes.
The carillon, tower and Memorial Drive were built as a memorial to those who served and died in World War II, especially those from the war. In 2014, a carillon was picked from a number of other ideas for a memorial.
If a more utilitarian memorial had been picked, such as a building also named for a figure, the original purpose of the memorial might have been forgotten, he said.
