18. Carillon
(Süßer die Glocken nie klingen,
Lyrics: Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger, 1816 − 1890,
melody from Thuringia)
The electronically created bells sounding here are ordered as a 12−tone series, serving as a kind of musical
clockwork.
An accompanying voice, based on symmetrical chords, is reminiscent to the bell-sound tonal spectrum.
Harp and low piano strings form the bass line, while in the high octave of the piano we can hear a familiar
Christmas carol . . .
