With the possible
exception of the Oblation statue, nothing symbolizes the University
of the Philippines more than the 130-foot Carillon Tower - a structure
unlike any other in Diliman, a ringing echo of the University's
glorious past.

Built in 1952 at a cost of some P200, 000, the
Carillon has serenaded generations of UP students, teachers, employees,
and
campus residents with its sweet cascade of chimes, rising above
the early morning mist and attending the fall of twilight. From
UP Beloved - and Planting Rice to the Beatles tunes and The lnternationale
of later years, the Carillon grew with the times, and itself
grew timeless, marking the same hours of different days as if
to remind the listener that some things never change - love,
honor, idealism, the joy and the challenge of learning beneath
the broad canopy of a university life.
It was a musical instrument - to be technical about it, an assemblage
of 46 tuned bells sounded by hammers, controlled from a keyboard
or clockwork mechanism
- whose player we never saw, a perfect
surrender of the person to the music. What was important was
for the bells to be heard, for the listeners to be reassured
that there was order in their universe - and not just order but
beauty and pleasure, especially at the beginning and at the end
of a long day.
When it played, the Carillon charmed us without the boisterousness
of a brass band or the self-absorbed intensity of a piano; its
delight lay precisely in its distance. It was a soothing voice
over your shoulder, a scattering of happy notes in the vagrant
wind. The Carillon could be heard in all corners of the campus,
from classroom to laboratory to janitorial closet. It was solace
democratized.

The Carillon
"
was dedicated as
a memorial to
the spirit of UP Alumni
living and dead." |
But lately it has fallen silent once again, ravaged by age and
neglect. The tower itself is firm and robust, but the Hollandmade
bronze bells have gone out of tune, a number of them needing
to be retired and replaced; the wires and wooden levers of the
keyboard have crumbled over time. The last time the bells were
played was at the Lantern Parade in 1988, and since then the
structure has been used as a stockroom, an art studio, and for
various other purposes. Previous restoration efforts fell short
of the funds needed for a complete overhaul.

It's a sad slide from the dream of National Artist for Architecture
Juan F. Nakpil and UP Music Conservatory director Ramon Tapales,
who - along with UP President Bienvenido Gonzales - had conceived
of the Carillon as early as 1940. It took the UP Alumni Association
to realize that dream, mobilizing mightily to build the tower
and buy and install the bells. On August 1, 1952, according
to the UP Bulletin, the Carillon "was dedicated as a memorial
to the spirit of the UP Alumni, living and dead."
It's the voice of that spirit that must have whispered in
our ear when the bells of Diliman last played - and which we
hope to hear again, once this proud tower of music is finally
and properly restored
