But even playing conservatively and just qualifying the functionally-integrated stalactites, a clock tower's got nothing on that!

I love carillons and think it's great when they are used to play something other than religious or patriotic music. They are for public music, and playing something fun is not too much to ask.

    The fact that the key strikes of the instrument literally provide their own percussive trait is so cool. Its not distracting, and its actually nice to hear both versions.

      @@gondametzger6146 Nope, dom is the kind of church, like cathedral or basilic. (It actually is an alternative name for cathedral!) The name from the Utrecht church & tower (separatedly named because physically separated by a hurricane) is derived from the type, so like you would call your cathedral "The Cathedral Church" and "The Cathedral Tower". There are many more doms, like in Cologne or Aachen. The name probably derives from "bisdom", but I am guessing that.
