Carillon
from Vingt-quatre Pièces en style libre by Louis Vierne
Background
Dedicated to á mon frére René Vierne.
The Carillon is the most popular of all the twenty-four pieces. It is also one of three of the twenty-four pieces that Vierne performed most frequently. This includes performance of it in a 1927 tour in America.[1]
Vierne's program note from his organ recital at Westminster Cathedral, London, January 3, 1924, states that "The Carillon was written on a theme of the chime rung on the bells of the Chapel attached to the Castle of Longpont (Aisne) that played this tune on the Patronal Festival of the Castle, the [feast] day of St. John of Montmorail."[2]
