Of peace on earth good will to men.
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does He sleep,
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth good will to men.
The bells range in size from six feet in diameter with a weight of 7,000 pounds to the smallest one which is eighteen inches in diameter weighing 250 pounds. Of the thirty-two bells in the Carillon, twenty-three are speaking bells covering a range of two full octaves from B flat below middle C. On the speaking bells were inscribed the names of the Deeds family then living, while on the silent bells appear the names of six deceased members.
The Celestron was added several years after the Carillon was built. This is an amplifying system incorporating a number of advanced features and making it possible to play recorded music so that it can be heard over a wide area. The Celestron has no connection with the Carillon bells. Since the addition of the Celestron, most programs are divided between carillon music and recorded music.
This scene in the Carillon parking area has been duplicated many times, as Sunday afternoon programs and others have been presented.
