O Cravo e a Rosa — 'The Carnation and the Rose' — is a charming Brazilian folk song and nursery rhyme about a lover's quarrel between two flowers, beloved by children and adults alike. On the steel tongue drum its lilting, playful melody rings out with bright, warm tones. The ascending phrase structure and moderate tempo make it a delightful easy-level piece with natural storytelling flow.
How to play O Cravo e a Rosa 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 O Cravo e a Rosa.
