It Is Well With My Soul was written by Horatio Spafford after devastating personal loss, set to Philip P. Bliss's serene Ville du Havre melody in 1876. On a steel tongue drum the peaceful, unfolding tune feels like a musical exhale — each phrase settling into stillness with a rare emotional clarity. The gentle arc of the melody and manageable range make it ideal for players seeking meaningful, meditative repertoire.
How to play It Is Well With My Soul 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 It Is Well With My Soul.
