The Badinerie from Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 (BWV 1067) is one of Baroque music's most brilliant and fleet-footed showpieces — a flute solo that dances at breathless speed with impish wit. On a steel tongue drum the rapid, skipping passages become a genuine technical workout, the instrument's bright, staccato articulation perfectly suited to the piece's playful, quicksilver character.
How to play Badinerie on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a intermediate arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Badinerie.
