Iberian Association of Campanology
As announced in the WCF congress, we are working in Spain and Portugal to create an association to represent the people who are interested in bells, in different ways: carillons, bellringing, and tuning, historic and aesthetic research.
In this moment, as far as we know there are five carillons in Spain, that is instruments with twenty tuned bells or more, and with a manual clavier, following international rules. Those carillons are:
- Barcelona – four octaves. Played every day, by a professional carillonist.
- Córdoba – three octaves. Played scarcely, by a local musician.
- San Lorenzo de El Escorial – four octaves. As far as we know, automatic playing.
- Vila-real – six octaves. Played each month by a student carillonist – Also an automatic concert each month.
- Zaragoza – Three octaves. Played scarcely by a local musician.
We don’t know if there are more carillons in project or construction.
As we said, there many contacts with Spanish people, also with the carillonists of Portugal, to make an association, which could be called “Iberian Association of Campanology” – ACI (“Asociación de Campanología Ibérica”).
The formal composition of this association could be announced in the next months.
