Carillon Concert

Ira Schroeder - Carillon Concert

This is another of the bell records that I found sometime ago. This LP does not have any liner notes on the back. Maybe the liner notes were on a separate sheet of paper. I do not know for sure as only the LP was in the sleeve.

The music was performed on the Stanton Memorial Carillon which is located at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

There does not appear to be much information about Ira Schroeder online nor any information about the LP itself. Thanks to this page, I learned that Ira was the longest tenured carillonneur from 1931 to 1969. The Stanton Memorial Carillon had an increase from 36 to 50 bells during his time. There is also an amusing anecdote about Schroeder (involving a towel and shoes) at Iowa State's alumni site.
