Bell Music of Moscow.

Russia has always been celebrated
for bells. Not only does she possess
the largest but the sweetest toned bells
in the world. If they sound at all
harsh or unmusical, when first tried.
they are broken to pieces and recast ;
for this reason, many of the great bells
In Moscow have been cast over and
over again. In the churches of Russia
no music is allowed to assist the human
voice excepting that of bells, so stand
ing near all of their ancient cathedrals
may be seen the tall bell towers. The
great belfrey of Moscow is the massive
tower OF st. Ivans, which stands in the
Kremlin. The basement of this tower
IS fitted up as a chapel, and above it
rises story after story of bells. The
greater ones above, the lesser below.
There are thirty-four in all, and most
of them are named and covered with
sculpturing and inscriptions. Sweetest
and most musical are the two pure sill
yer bells which hang just under the
golden dome, nearly 800 feet above the
earth. The music of this Glover of
Bells" is grand on Easter day, when all
the bells are rung together, making the
with their mighty peals. "Christ has
arisenp' thunder the bells below.
"Christ has arisen " echoes each story
with its own rapturous harmony.
"Christ has arisen = floats like an
angels voice from the lofty dome.
Then, every peasant who, for miles
away, hears the noble music of these
Easter bells, bows with reverent face as
though his very soul were lifted
heavenward by these voices from the
clouds. One of the great bells in st.
VANS tower is the Bolshoi Kolokol.
During its founding people threw in
abundantly of their gold and silver,
plate and rings, and we may understand
the loving pride which Russians take
in their bells from Lyall's description
of it's erection. It was in February
that the bell was removed from the
foundry, on an oaken sledge, being
drawn by numbers among the crowd
who attended it. The imperial flag
was displayed, and the procession
moved on to the music of little bells
which hung over the great bell. When
at last lodged at the foot of ST. VANS
tower, TIE Deum was celebrated, after
which the crowd threw themselves
upon Mr.. Bogdanov, the founder of the
bell, and kissed his cheeks, his breast,
his hands, his cloths, to express their
joyful gratitude. The maker of a fine
bell is considered public benefactor
in Russia. By the way, bells are not
rung at all in Russia the tongue is
simply struck against the sides. One
may Judge of the enormous size of this
bell from the fact that it takes several
men to pull the tongue. Youths Com
