berkeley campanile carillon

Keeping with the video posts lately, here is a brief recording of Berkeley's Campanile carillon playing The Beatles' "Hey Jude," recorded during my trip to the Bay for the Cognitive Neuroscience conference this April. It was a really beautiful day in Berkeley, starting on the steps of the Campanile and ending, of course, at the Bowl. I have great memories of the carillon concerts at Berkeley - especially the pieces I recognize. The Beatles are a bit out of the ordinary - see this one, and the carillonist here - but I remember some Satie in particular.




I'll be in California again soon (yes, southern), eventually driving up the 1 to Berkeley, SF, and the Peninsula.
