	Along with the restoration came various projects and events for the U.P. Carillon Tower. One project is the ''"Kampana: Pagsamba... Pagbabago... Pagdiriwang"'' featuring the University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers<sup>5</sup> [Madz] held on December 17, 2006 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines [CCP], Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo. The concert was not planned, hence, a coincidence, when Mark Anthony Carpio, choirmaster of the group, conceptualized a Christmas concert about bells of worship, bells of change, and bells of celebration. It was a surprise to the UPAA, and thought of buying one of the Madz's concerts as a fund raiser for the restoration of the U.P. Carillon. In line with that, U.P. Coeds don the Araceli Limcaco-Dans designed shawls for the ''Kampana'' concert, that is, with a ''callado'' painting.		Along with the restoration came various projects and events for the U.P.

	The goal ~~budget~~ for the tower was around 90,000 Php and 21, 706 Php was accumulated by April 1952. President Elpidio Quirino donated a thousand pesos and Professor Juan Nakpil, the architect for the tower, donated five thousand pesos in memory Dr. Ariston Bautista Lin. Other donors are Vice President Lopez, Eugenio Perez, the 1949 graduating class, inter-fraternity council, the UP Student Council, UP Alumni Chapters Laguna and Tarclas, Former regent Jose F.

	Dutch Carilloneur Adrian Antonisse, Jr. delivered the bells on behalf of Van Bergen Bell. Chimes and Carillon Foundry Company on June 1952 and the last bell was placed on July 11, 1952. The 45-bell carillon was the first of its kind in Southeast Asia and they cost seventy thousand pesos. Finally, Elpidio Quirino inaugurated the Carillon Tower at August 1, 1952 and the entire structure was dedicated to Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon. The UP Conservatory of Music also presented Antonisse at a Carillon concert on August 3, 1952 and he was also given a farewell concert on August 14. Carilloneurs Eva Gonzales and Wesley Tubuyoyong ~~also~~ took turns in playing the bells at the tower, that same year.

	<br />Generally constructed for bell towers,carillons are the heaviest of all extant musical ~~instrument~~. ~~They~~ are usually made from bronze (80% copper+20% tin) to produce perfect tone and clarity. Bronze is much less prone to corrosion and much harder than brass thereby allowing carillons to retain its quality for decades. Carillons are connected through wires to the playing cabin where the clavier is installed. The playing cabin is ~~position~~ directly below the ~~bellchamber~~ so the clavier can be placed in the optimum position relative to the transmission system.The entire system is then housed inside a tower to protect and support the instrument.		<br />Generally constructed for bell towers,carillons are the heaviest of all extant musical instruments.

	<br />46 bells were originally installed at the top portion of the tower under the supervision of Professor Adrian Antonisse Jr., a Dutch carilloneur and director of Veendammer Muziekschool of the Netherlands. Those bells were casted by Van Bergen Bell, Chimes and Carillon Foundry. Some of the bells were named after individual donors.

	These bells were tuned to the intervals of the chromatic scale similar to a piano, and having a range of three octaves or more. The bell which has the lowest pitch can weigh many tons. The smaller the size of the bell means the higher the pitch.		These bells were tuned to the intervals of the chromatic scale similar to a piano, and having a range of three octaves or more.
