Une Souris Verte (A Green Mouse) is one of France's most whimsical and beloved nursery folk songs, featuring a green mouse dangling by its tail with cheerful absurdity. On steel tongue drum its stepwise ascending melody and lively repeated phrases bounce along with natural playfulness. The simple scale-based structure and clear rhythm make it a perfect first folk piece. A charming, funny French folk classic for new handpan players.
How to play Une Souris Verte 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 Une Souris Verte.
