Feng Yang Hua Gu — 'Fengyang Flower Drum' — is a vivacious Chinese folk song from Anhui Province, historically associated with wandering drum-and-song performers. On the steel tongue drum its rhythmically nimble phrases capture the spirit of the original percussive tradition in a wholly melodic form. Busy eighth-note runs and a brisk tempo give intermediate players an engaging challenge.
How to play Feng Yang Hua Gu (Fengyang Flower Drum) 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 intermediate arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Feng Yang Hua Gu (Fengyang Flower Drum).
