caption_attribution_description: The BYU Carillon stands as one of the landmarks of the BYU Provo campus. Every hour it rings out a tune from the hymn "Come Come Ye Saints." Photo was taken October 2006 on a Canon Powershot A310 with image adjustments done on Picassa.
context_page_description: The BYU Centennial Carillon is a carillon on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, US. The bell tower was erected in 1975 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the school's founding. Built in a simple, modern style designed by architect Fred L. Markham, it is 97 feet tall and contains 52 bells. The bells range in size from 25 lbs to 4,730 lbs. The carillon tolls a tune based on the hymn "Come, Come, Ye Saints," followed by the hour, and tolls a chime on the half-hour. The hour and half-hour strikes are controlled by an automated system. Carillonneurs may also play the instrument by means of a keyboard located directly below the belfry, in a small room reached by a spiral staircase that ascends through the center of the tower.
  BYU is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its carillon is the only such instrument the church owns. LDS churches rarely feature bell towers, and the only temple to contain even a single bell is the Nauvoo Illinois Temple.
