Looking back, I realize that successfully competing to play Cornell\u2019s iconic instrument was a quintessential \u2018wow\u2019 moment <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By D. Dina Friedman \u201979, BA \u201978<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the opening day of the Chimes competition, more than 40 of us crowded into McGraw Tower to watch Rick, a skinny redhead, demonstrate flinging his arms and legs in all directions as he stomped on the wooden levers that rang the bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound, punctuated by the clicks of wood against wood, was harsh and filled with overtones, denting the integrity of his renditions of Bach, the Beatles, and Scott Joplin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it looked so cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be a chimesmaster, Rick explained, we first had to memorize and master the \u201cJennie McGraw Rag,<\/em>\u201d the \u201cAlma Mater,\u201d and the \u201cEvening Song\u201d by practicing\u2014putting our hands and feet on the levers without pushing them all the way down in order not to subject the entire campus to our mistakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Decades later, in 1999, a separate practice stand not connected to the Chimes would be installed a few levels down.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a month we\u2019d be tested on our silent playing, and those who passed could progress to live concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of you will drop out,\u201d Rick said. \u201cBy the time we get to the end of the first phase of the competition, I\u2019m guessing there\u2019ll be five of you left.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shimmied my way through the throng to sign up for practice times, determined to be one of the five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next few weeks, I spent hours hunkered down in the tower, trying to learn the 549 notes that comprise the \u201cRag\u201d and play them at lightning speed. I was thankful that my good ear enabled me to make a sound-print of the notes in my head as I silently pushed the levers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent hours hunkered down in the tower, trying to learn the 549 notes that comprise the ‘Rag’ and play them at lightning speed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The harder part was staying balanced\u2014and upright\u2014as I reached for the low notes with my left foot, then scurried to the other side of the keyboard for a hand-over-hand run of high notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I practiced nearly every day. I loved the solitude of the tower, loved reading the new graffiti as I climbed the six flights of stairs\u2014hearts with lovers\u2019 initials, snide comments about the next organic chemistry prelim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was done, I\u2019d climb the final flight of winding stairs for the view. As I watched students trudging up the hill from West Campus, or gazed north to the gothic towers of Risley Hall and the legendary kissing spot on the Suspension Bridge, I\u2019d silently reaffirm my resolve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. I could become a chimesmaster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time we were tested, there were eight people left. Rick watched my hands and feet as I mimed through the \u201cRag.\u201d He looked satisfied, if not particularly impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOK, you passed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Five of us made it to the next phase, which was to learn two difficult pieces in the Chimes repertoire and prepare two concerts each week for six weeks. We\u2019d be judged on the last four concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t remember what I\u2019d been doing the night before my first live morning concert, but if it had been like any other night during my freshman year, I doubt I\u2019d gone to bed early and gotten a good night\u2019s sleep. It was dark and cold when the alarm rang, and then rang again after I hit the snooze button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I threw on some clothes and walked from North Campus in the chilly rain, but I didn\u2019t fully wake up until I tried to play the \u201cRag\u201d for real. This was entirely different than practicing silently. In order to make a sound, I had to push much harder on the levers than I\u2019d expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a million mistakes, but likely no one else on campus was awake enough to notice. I tried to make up for my lapses by playing my heart out for everything else\u2014sappy songs from musicals and a bit of easy Bach. As I played, I felt exhilarated, literally and figuratively at the top of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I made a million mistakes, but likely no one else on campus was awake enough to notice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There were only three of us left when we got to the final two weeks of the competition. By then, I was smitten. I poured my emotions into each press of the lever, letting the music surge through, even though I still made lots of mistakes. I guess it worked. They accepted all three of us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my recent winter-survival strategies has been to cultivate what I call \u201cthe wow moments.\u201d Every day as I walk in the woods, I see small snapshots of wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWow!\u201d I say out loud to the contrast of deep blue sky pierced by a green canopy of tall pines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWow!\u201d I say again to the water rushing under a patina of ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWow!\u201d to the slithery feeling of my soles slipping on the ice and the adrenaline thrill of righting myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was how I felt being a chimesmaster\u2014just me, righting myself: sounding out all over campus. Mattering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
