Erev Shel Shoshanim — 'Evening of Roses' — is a treasured Israeli folk song from 1957, its poetry conjuring a romantic twilight garden of jasmine and roses. On the steel tongue drum its unhurried, arching phrases resonate with extraordinary warmth, the handpan's lingering sustain echoing the fragrant stillness of a summer evening. Lyrical phrasing and a gentle tempo suit easy-level players beautifully.
How to play Erev Shel Shoshanim (Evening of Roses) on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major Pentatonic 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 Erev Shel Shoshanim (Evening of Roses).
