Traditional carillons in North America:
index by year of original installation
The table below is an index to the 190(+1) existing (and planned) and 9 former North American traditional carillons, in order by year of initial installation or attainment of carillon status. Included are indications of when carillons were lost for various reasons. Thus the sequencing of this index shows the historical development of the art of the carillon in this region.
Instruments which were installed or lost in the same year are listed
in order by the city name without regard to the exact date
on which the work was finished.
After the year, a letter indicates that the instrument
- C - is still complete as originally installed;
- E - was enlarged to its present carillon size from a chime;
- F - was later enlarged to its present size;
- I - was first enlarged to carillon size from a chime (and later enlarged to its present size);
- K - had a traditional keyboard and action added;
- * - was originally located elsewhere
- E - was enlarged to its present carillon size from a chime;
The "Nr." column at left shows how many traditional carillons existed in North America
at the end of each calendar year, after the additions (+) and subtractions (-)
that occurred during that year.
Here is the graph of those figures against time:
Another graph at the bottom of this page shows additions and losses by year.
