Idas Sommarvisa is a Swedish summer song of radiant simplicity, evoking long Nordic evenings and wildflower meadows through its soaring pentatonic phrases. On the steel tongue drum the melody's wide ascending leap to the high octave is a moment of pure delight, ringing out like bells on a clear June day. The unhurried waltz feel and sparse texture make it an ideal showcase of the instrument's singing tone.
How to play Idas Sommarvisa 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 Idas Sommarvisa.
