Sur le Pont d'Avignon is one of France's most famous and charming folk songs, imagining dancers on the famous medieval bridge. On a steel tongue drum its neat, stepwise melody skips along with a light, festive quality that is immediately appealing. The regular 4/4 phrasing and small note range make it perfect for beginners. A delightful French folk classic that comes alive on the handpan.
How to play Sur le Pont d'Avignon 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 Sur le Pont d'Avignon.
