Carillon - de winter is vergangen 200527_0180.wav

Carillon playing: De winter is vergangen (Winter has passed).
It is a Dutch national anthem whose text was first found in a manuscript from 1537. The melody dates from around 1600. (link: http://www.liedjeskist.nl/liedjes_a-z/d-liedjes/die_winter_is_vergangen.htm )
It is also known as a Mary song with different text (Oh Groet U Zuivere Bloeme). Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh270hJ9Srs&list=PLIHjE68F55LJZlMzP23K5jcddWeFEB27M&index=19&t=0s
This is one reason why the carillonneur plays this song in the month of May (Mary's month for Catholics).

Close (10 meters) recording of the carillon of the st Jan Cathedral in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.
The microphones are on the roof of the cathedral. The big, heavier and louder bells hang about 7 meters from the microphone and small bells about 13 meters. For that reason the balance in the sound recording not very well tuned. Thanks to Joost van Balkom, the carillonneur, for the hospitality in receiving me for this recording.
