Church Bells

Church Bells
I am researching the history of church glockenspiel and of buzz resounding. To the same extent were church glockenspiel used for the crown time and why were glockenspiel used fairly of the at all cry to write to people to prayer? (TR)Answer: Intelligence on glockenspiel as a church instrument and references to enrich literature can be found in hang around good encyclopedias and dictionaries, see for example the entry for "glockenspiel" in The Oxford Lexicon of the Christian Cathedral. Oxford: Oxford University circles Press, 1974, p. 153.At home minimally a few key data: The buzz (Irish "throttle"; old German "clochon - knocking" giving subject to the German word "Glocke") is an instrument that was sooner than known in ancient China. Its use in churches is mentioned as olden as 400 by Paul of Nola. Glockenspiel are introduced in France something like 550 and in the 7th century in Ireland. The resounding of the glockenspiel calls the people to the church services. In gone era, the buzz was not minimally used to fathom Page, but what's more rang three era a day (olden in the first light, at noon and in the evening) to write to people to the Angelus prayer. As the glockenspiel greater than before in magnitude, special towers to dangle them in became primary, either a free standing buzz tower, or one incorporated in the church boarding house. The bell-foundries, formerly operated by the monks, were transferred in the 13th century to the professional founders. The secrets of bell-foundry were accepted down the families.In Germany, glockenspiel are blessed by Bishops or officer priests. In the same way as prayers are nucleus held the buzz is washed with holy water (this is what's more called the baptism ceremony of glockenspiel), anointed with blessed oil and blessed. The buzz funds gives it a name. The glockenspiel can be the property of the church, of the political unit or in hush-hush use. Truthful the office influence has the bona fide to compute the use of a buzz. If it is to be used for courteous occasions, a relevant documentation is primary (ceremonies and intimates announcements).
