Mendelssohn's Spring Song (Lieder ohne Worte Op. 62 No. 6, 1844) is a flowing, effortlessly graceful piece that perfectly evokes the lightness and warmth of the season. On a steel tongue drum its gentle, cascading phrases ring out with a clear, song-like purity, the instrument's sustain adding a soft glow to each note. Delicate, uplifting, and a perennial favourite.
How to play Spring Song — Mendelssohn 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 Spring Song — Mendelssohn.
