What is a Carillon?

A carillon is a group of 23-72 bells that 'ring out the good news' through music. There are not many 'real' carillons around anymore... only about 200 in North America.

St. Mary's Cathedral has four bells that ring, these are called a "chime" only because there are fewer than 23 bells ringing. The city of Calgary has an electronic carillon that rings from the Calgary Tower every day at noon.
