Den lyse Dag forgaar is a beloved Danish folk hymn about the passing of bright days, its stately ascending phrases full of quiet contemplation. On the steel tongue drum the piece's chorale-like quality emerges naturally from the instrument's resonant decay, each sustained note blending into the next like evening light fading. The simple, dignified melodic line is well-suited to players developing a gentle, controlled touch.
How to play Den lyse Dag forgaar 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 easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Den lyse Dag forgaar.
