carillon - Wij groeten U, o Koningin 200527_0180.wav

Carillon playing: Wij groeten U, o Koningin. (Hail Holy Queen Enthroned )

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.

lyrics in Dutch
Wij groeten U, o koningin, o Maria:
U Moeder vol van teed're min, o Maria:
Groet haar, o cherubijn; prijs haar, o serafijn,
prijst met ons uw Koningin:
Salve, salve, salve, Regina.
O Moeder van barmhartigheid, o Maria:
en troost in alle bitterheid, o Maria. refr.
Ons leven, zoetheid, hoop en vreugd, o Maria:
leid gij ons op de weg der deugd, o Maria. refr.
Toon ons in 't uur van onze dood, o Maria:
de zoete vrucht van uwe schoot, o Maria. refr.
