Carillon
Traditionally, bells have been used to announce significant events in the life of the community.  HPUMC is fortunate to have a cast bell carillon of forty-eight bells in the tower located to the left of the church entrance.  At the end of a wedding service, a peal of three to five randomly swinging bells is activated by the organist at the organ console.  However, the carillon can also be played manually from a keyboard located in the belfry.  Our carillonneurs are available to play from a large repertoire of music ranging from pieces composed specifically for the instrument, to arrangements of hymns and familiar wedding music.  Click on the link to view a partial repertoire list – carillon music.

The carillon can add a heightened sense of occasion to the wedding, as it can be heard for several blocks as guests arrive at the church.  Twenty to thirty minutes of music prior to the service is recommended.  Other music may be planned for indoors, as the carillon cannot be heard in the sanctuary or chapel.  If desired, additional carillon music can be played following the service and the peal.
