Hora Mare (Great Circle Dance) is the stately Romanian circle dance that anchors village celebrations across the country. Its rolling, repetitive melody feels natural on steel tongue drum, where the warm sustain blends each phrase into the next. The moderate-to-brisk tempo and predictable structure make it easy to pick up and fun to loop. A joyful expression of Romanian communal folk tradition.

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 Hora Mare (Romanian circle dance).
