The Ländler is the stately Alpine folk dance of Switzerland and Austria that predated and influenced the waltz, danced outdoors at village festivals under open mountain skies. On steel tongue drum its gentle, rolling 3/4 melody rings with the clear, clean air of the Alps, each phrase circling back with reassuring warmth. The moderate tempo and flowing structure make it very natural to play. A serene and beautiful piece of Alpine folk heritage on the handpan.
How to play Ländler (Swiss Alpine folk dance) 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 Ländler (Swiss Alpine folk dance).
