Hej Sokoły (Hey, Falcons) is a rousing Polish-Ukrainian Cossack song filled with bittersweet longing for faraway homeland. On a steel tongue drum its broad, soaring phrases carry real emotional weight, with the wide melodic leaps landing beautifully on the instrument's resonant tones. The steady march tempo makes it straightforward to learn while remaining deeply expressive. An iconic piece of Slavic folk heritage.
How to play Hej Sokoły 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 Hej Sokoły.
