20carillon (kä-rē-yōñ') Fr. n.
211. A set of bells so hung in a tower that they form a sort of musical instrument and may be played either by a keyboard or by machinery similar to that of a clock. Unlike a peal of bells they give out a regularly composed melody in distinct and correct time. In a carillon the bells are stationary and are struck from without with a hammer. In Belgium and Holland carillons were furnished with keyboards somewhat like piano keyboards but on larger scale with keys far enough apart to be struck with great force by the hands without disturbing other keys. Owing to the weight of the bells and mechanism the art of playing the carillon required great physical strength. In medieval manuscripts we have representations of an instrument composed of small bells hung in order of their size and struck by hand.
222. An instrumental piece imitating the music of a carillon or any piece especially composed for that instrument.

34A well-known song and dance of the French Revolution dating from the taking of the Piedmontese town, Carmagnola, in 1792. It was originally a country song and dance of Provence, to the melody of which many revolutionary verses were written.
