Carillon de Westminster
''Carillon de Westminster'', Opus 54 No.6, is a piece written for organ by French composer and organist Louis Vierne. It constitutes the sixth piece in the third suite of Vierne’s four-suite set ''24 pieces de fantaisie'', first published in 1927. ''Carillon de Westminster'' is in the key of D major, and is in compound triple time.
== Origin and Inspiration ==
As indicated by the title, ''Carillon de Westminster'' is a fantasia on the Westminster chimes, played from the Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster, since 1858. The chimes play four notes in the key of E major, G#, F#, E, and B in various patterns every fifteen minutes.
Vierne's friend Henry Willis hummed the tune for the composer upon Vierne's request; apparently, either Willis hummed the tune incorrectly or Vierne misheard his friend upon transcription. Vierne misquoted the second quarter of the chimes. Instead of jumping up a third from the tonic, dropping down a whole step, and landing on the fifth, Vierne's version moves up in whole steps to the third before moving down to the fifth. Vierne then stays on the fifth, leaps to the second, then third note of the scale and ends on the tonic. There is debate among musicologists as to whether or not this rumor is true, or if Vierne altered the melody to suit his own purpose.
