Schubert's Marche Militaire (Op. 51 No. 1, 1818) is a spirited, march-like piece originally written for piano four hands and beloved for its crisp rhythmic swagger. On a steel tongue drum the brisk, articulated melody has a bright, percussive vitality that suits the instrument's natural attack. One of the most upbeat and energetic pieces in Schubert's output.
How to play Marche Militaire — Schubert 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 Marche Militaire — Schubert.
