Every day at noon, ringing bells can be heard throughout BYU. BYU recently replaced the biggest bell in the Centennial Carillon Bell Tower. This is the first bell to be added since the carillon’s construction in 1975. Cast in Holland, the bell weighs 3.5 tons. The bell’s even more massive size produces a deeper tone. The unveiling of the bell is part of BYU’s sesquicentennial celebration.
The new bell bears the original inscription: “May these bells proclaim forever our gratitude to those who founded and to those who sustain Brigham Young University.”
"Be Still, My Soul" arranged by Dr. Don Cook. Played on the Brigham Young University Centennial Carillon by Amber Schumann.
