"Fish in the Sea" is a lively English and Newfoundland sea shanty with a sparkling melodic contour that leaps and dips like waves on open water. On a steel tongue drum the tune's wide range showcases the full expressive palette of the instrument, from its warmer middle notes up to the brighter highs. The flowing melodic lines and varied phrase shapes offer intermediate players a genuinely musical challenge that sounds spectacular when it comes together.
How to play Fish in the Sea 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 Fish in the Sea.
