Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

On 15 November 1918, four days after the armistice that ended the Great War (1914-1918) the then Mayoress of Cape Town, Anna Thorne, mooted the idea of donating a carillon for the tower of the City Hall as peace thank-offering from the women of the City. This idea appealed to many people and on 30 April 1925 the Cape Town Carillon was inaugurated at the occasion of the Royal Visit of the Prince of Wales to the City. The bells were cast in the Taylor Foundry, Loughborough, UK as memorial bells and were enriched with inscriptions commemorating the war areas where South Africans have fallen in the great cause. Close to hundred years later, we found it necessary to draw the attention of the citizens of Cape Town and South Africa to this historic instrument that was added to their national heritage, but about which there exists a lack of knowledge and appreciation. While we realize that the current article is still incomplete, to our knowledge it is the first documented and controlled account of what has happened then and what the current status of this remarkable and unique instrument is. Die Kaapstadse beiaard : 'n vergete erfenis Op 15 November 1918, vier dae na die wapenstilstand wat die Eerste Wereldoorlog (1914-1918) beeindig het, het die destydse Kaapstadse Burgemeestersvrou, Anna Thorne, voorgestel dat 'n beiaard in die Stadsaal se toring geinstalleer word. Dit sou as 'n danksegging dien vir vrede deur die vroue van Kaapstad. Die idee het wyd byval gevind en op 30 April 1925 is die beiaard ten tyde van die Koninklike besoek van die prins van Wallis ingewy. Die klokke is as gedenkklokke deur die Taylor Foundry in Loughborough in die Verenigde Koninkryk gegiet en met inskripsies versier wat die gevegsgebiede gedenk waar Suid-Afrikaners gesneuwel het. Byna honderd jaar later vind ons dit nodig om die inwoners van Kaapstad en Suid-Afrika opnuut bewus te maak van die historiese instrument wat deel van die nasionale erfenis vorm, maar waarvoor tans min kennis en waardering bestaan. Hoewel die artikel nie die omvang van die onderwerp volledig dek nie, is dit so ver die outeurs se kennis strek, die eerste histories gedokumenteerde boekstawing van die destydse gebeure en die huidige status van die uitsonderlike en unieke instrument.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
