Polyushko-Polye (Little Field) is a sweeping Russian folk song evoking the vast, windswept steppes of the homeland. Its unhurried, broad phrases feel perfectly natural on a steel tongue drum, where each note rings with an open, meditative quality. The gentle arching melody is forgiving for beginners and deeply satisfying to sustain. A serene journey through the Russian countryside.
How to play Polyushko-Polye 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 beginner arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Polyushko-Polye.
