Can 18th century bells play funk jazz?

- Here's a clip from my concert in Nijkerk, The Netherlands on July 2, 2024. The instrument is from 1777 by Andreas Joseph van den Gheyn, and the bells are tuned in meantone temperament. The piece is "The Mixolydian Mixup", a piece I wrote for carillon back in 2012. Sheet music is available through GCNA: www.gcna.org/m...
Check out my other videos from July 2 at Nijkerk:

When you make a mistake on piano, only you and your teacher have to know. Make a mistake on the bells and the whole freaking town knows it.
Just tell them it’s your way of staying humble
@@Madcapredcap Only the musically trained will know, the rest will not notice a thing. Many people won't even notice that there are bells ringing in the first place.
@@Liisa3139 Much to my dismay, yes
Ah yes funk jazz on bells
By the way, I listened to the entire thing, that was absolutely beautiful, I have no idea how you are so talented at not only playing but writing as well
This is the first time in a while I've heard of someone watching or at least listening to an entire youtube video
Really nice tune. Not sure about jazz/funk, but sounds great.
Looks like such a fun location to play the carillon!
An interesting way to 'rock the flock.' Totally dig it!
I was in the main square of Bruges 25 years ago, and I'm sure I heard Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks being played.
"seasons in the sun" is actually written by Jacques Brel. He was from Bryssels so that might explain it being played in Brugge.
I live near Bruges and it does happen often that it's other genres other than classical.
I found your video on my youtube home page and was quite surprised to hear Mixolydian Mixup mentioned. I haven't thought about that piece since I tried playing it in middle school when I was first learning to play trumpet. I had just learned what musescore is and found a copy of the piece there. Your work sounds great! I hope you have a great day!
Me trying to tell the time only to have the time tell me.
Brought a smile to my face. What a fun piece to write for this old instrument. Thanks for creating this and sharing it with the world. Well done!
Very cool! Keep composing for the clarion bells!
Mayor: Inspector, have you gotten any leads regarding those awful, brutal deaths?
Inspector: One thing we *have* determined that they weren'tripped apart by wild animals...they were murdered.
Mayor: Murdered?!? But this is a remote, bucolic town! There have been no strangers passing through. Everybody knows everybody else! We're all friends, family, and neighbors! Who could have done thes?!?
Inspector: Then apparently this town has somehow spawned one amongst you who isn’t very friendly, familial, or neighborly. My job is to find out who they are, and part of that involve my determining how such a perfect town made them this way...
(Cue this song playing as background to a montage of once-happy townsfolk, now absently going about their business with looks of concern and suspicion as each one reflects upon their possible part in creating the monster amongst them.)

Actually, it reminds me of this piece:

Haha :-)
Works. You're right. Modal stuff does, although some of the chromaticisms get funky in the pedal. But, all of that Mechelen romantic stuff was written for and played on the old St. Rombouts carillon, which was way more funky sounding on those bells.
Once again proving any genre can be played on any instrument
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent with us!❤
Pretty spectacular!
The beginning of the piece sounds much like orthodox bell ringing. It also brought to my ind some very distant memory of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. So, that is what went to listen to next. I noticed that I had really mostly forgotten what is in Tubular Bells, but yes there are bells.😃
groovinest carillon jam; i would break dance to this if i could break dance.
Wow, that sounds great. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the instrument sounds at its best with music specifically composed for carillon, but I think this is the most natural-sounding performance on one I've heard.
Though I am curious: this was presumably recorded from up there in the bell tower, but how well do some of those higher, quieter notes carry when the listener is far away?
Good question! They do carry quite well, given the architectural design of the tower and olacemebtuof bells in the belfry. Actually this recording is a combination of in-tower mics and outside mics :-)
@@joeybrinkbells Oh, neat! That's cool to hear that the audio was done that way, too.
A legendary video to discover on my feed, this is excellent!
This is sick. We dont have a bell tower (that they let the music students play) but i think this piece is DYING to be played on a B3. I may have to put a group together to make a properly funk recording of this piece when the semester starts.
that would be really cool! reach out to me if here if you want to connect on this! www.joeybrink.com/contact
Awsome! As a Dutchman living in Portugal, you are almost making me homesick.
Meanwhile, I also wonder how this comes across at a certain distance, on the ground, with a good bit of wind... 🤔 I lived within hearing range but not quite next door to the Grote Kerk in Den Haag. Some times the bells would sound like a cross between Schoenberg and John Cage, just due to the weather/distance.
These are the bells I want to toll for me
What an incredible piece
Great skills operating that beast :D
Oh my, it works SO WELL!!!
Yep 👍
Pretty cool dude 😎
wild stuff!
This rips Joey!! Nice work :)
I feel like I'm committing a crime by listening to this on my phone speakers. Great job!
Hey bro, can I ask what you do for work?
This :-)
I play bells, teach bells, and composé for bells
Please, please could you do Megalovania when best for you please!!!!
Are there any bell samples for digial instruments. I think it would work very well on somehting like a lowry organ.
There's a large variety you can find. I think there are some free ones from Spitfire Labs you can get, and the stuff they release is pretty good. Can't speak on much else though as I often use Roland's packs from their DAW
Which variety of meantone was this tuned in?
Quarter comma meantone, I believe
💙 Didn't think you would EVER 🙉 make it to the top! 🎉
