Peace Tower

The Peace Tower carillon is one of North America's oldest and most beautiful carillons. It comprises 53 bells and weighs 54 tonnes. The term "electronic commerce" refers to the sale of electronic goods. The bourdon bell is the largest and heaviest, and it plays the low E note. The smallest and lightest bell plays the A—a full octave higher! The bourdon produces the sound you hear every hour.

A carillon is controlled by a massive keyboard, similar to an organ. A carillonneur is someone who plays the bells. Carillonneurs play the bells by striking the keys with their fists. They must strike the keys with their feet to play the larger bells. The bells are not truly swinging. Instead, a clapper strikes each bell with the same vigor as the carillonneur does the key. The Peace Tower carillon was inspired by chiming clocks from the 17th century in Belgium and the Netherlands. Musicians from all over the world travel to Ottawa to learn how to play this finely tuned instrument. Enjoy the carillon concerts and get a one-of-a-kind musical experience.
