a copy of the late Ran Cloustons paper on T C LEWIS & his bells, as given to
the British Institute of Organ Studies on 17/9/1994 at Southwark Cathedral. In
it he mentions Lewis's 1897 booklet 'A Protest against the Modern Development of
Unmusical Tone', of which Clouston reproduced pages 21 to 27 (on bells).

<DIV id=ygrp-text>
<P>A fellow carillonist has drawn my attention to a forthcoming series <BR>of
conferences, to be held annually in Oxford from 2007 to 2010. The <BR>topic is
"The Organ in England", but the call for papers includes the <BR>subject of
"bell-casting" as it might relate to the organ. Here's <BR>the official
call:<BR><BR>"Papers are invited on any topic relating to organs, organ music
and <BR>literature, construction, and performance practice up to the
<BR>beginning of the 17th century. Topics may include (but are not <BR>limited
to) the liturgical use of the organ, its greater role in <BR>society, relevant
technology (including areas such as possible <BR>connections with
clock-making, bell-casting, the English tin <BR>industry, etc.), iconography,
music education as it may relate to the <BR>organ, music publishing (organ) in
the period, and medieval and <BR>renaissance scientific inquiry and the
organ."<BR><BR>The fourth conference, to be held in 2010, will cover the 20th
<BR>century. Perhaps one of my distinguished English colleagues might be
<BR>interested in writing a paper connecting bells with organs. The most
<BR>famous example might be the G&J theatre organ bells in
London.<BR><BR>Full details of the conference plans can be found here:<BR><A
