The Berkeley Carillon Institute was
established in 1982 by Ronald Barnes, Berkeley's first University
Carillonist. The purpose of the Institute is to secure materials
related to the carillon and to encourage and publish compositions
and arrangements for the instrument.
The library of the Berkeley Carillon
Institute, a part of the Music Library at the university, houses
an extensive collection of published and unpublished works for
the carillon, as well as rare books, documents, recordings, photographs,
and programs. Special collections include the original UC chime
books of Henry Safford King, the complete carillon book of Robert
Kleinschmidt and many manuscripts of the important American carillon
composers Roy Hamlin Johnson and Gary White.
The Berkeley Carillon Institute also
publishes carillon music, available at no cost on the web. You
can browse the thematic index of available compositions, then
download scores that interest you using your web browser and
