The Altgeld Chimes: Songs for Our Dear Old Illinois
The Altgeld Chimes: Songs for Our Dear Old Illinois
The Altgeld Chimes: Songs for Our Dear Old Illinois is the first of its kind—an album completely dedicated to recording the bells of Altgeld Hall. This yearlong project is a culmination of hard work made possible by various members of the UIUC community.
In the album, the bells ring alongside everyday sounds of campus. Birds chirping, passers-by singing to Altgeld’s melodies, and the periodic halting of a bus dot the soundscape. Although some may interpret these sounds to be a dissonant clash with the music, they may also make campus life an audible, lived-in experience performed in tandem with the bells.
The Altgeld Chimes are a vibrant symbol of the university. I might argue that they ring the university to life. However, while the tower itself is highly visible, its performers are often not. We are hidden in the walls of Altgeld Hall’s domain. Yet, our music is always heard. And our community has been, continues to be, and always will be integral to that music."
