Show JOHN KLEIN John Klein, universally recognized as the most distinguished among the many musicians who play the modern carillon, is a man of consummate musical talent and ability. The term usually applied to him by fellow musicians is "a superb artist." That artistry had developed by studies under four of the world's most famous musicians, and by his own eminent success as not only a carillonneur, but as composer, arranger, organist and author of books about music. It was Mr. Klein's profound knowledge of the technical side of music which was responsible for his affiliation with Schulmerich Carillons, Inc., of Sellersville, Pennsylvania, as Musical Director and Consultant. Klein's musical achievements are almost without parallel. As a carillonneur, he is a recording artist for RCA-Vic-tor, Columbia and Americana Records, with over 40 recordings to his credit. A highly innovative musician, he was the first to combine the carillon with orchestra and chorus. As a composer-arranger he has received on five different occasions, special awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, of which he is a member, for his compositions in their catalog which are of "unique prestige value." To his credit, he has over 450 published compositions. John Klein, carillonneur, composer, arranger, author, organist, musical scientist and philosopher ...may those who hear his bell recitials truly appreciate his genius.
