MOL CARILLON BOOK II
For the golden jubilee of the Mol carillon, the Mols Carillon Book I was published in 2001: a collection of arrangements of ‘compositions from Bach to Benoit’ that I made during the first ten years as Mol carillonneur.
For my retirement, I selected seventeen arrangements I made since 2001 and brought them together in the Mol Carillon Book II. They are arrangements that bring out the great diversity of the carillon repertoire of the past five centuries.
I hope fellow carillonneurs and listeners enjoy them!
