Mendelssohn's Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream (1843) is the world's most iconic processional — those three opening trumpet calls are instantly recognized at weddings everywhere. On a steel tongue drum the fanfare-like opening and flowing middle section take on a warm, celebratory resonance quite unlike any brass arrangement. A joyful piece that sounds wonderful on the instrument.
How to play Wedding March — 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 Wedding March — Mendelssohn.
