The Sound of Hammered Dulcimer

“The Sound of Hammered Dulcimer” brings together a wide-ranging collection of tracks showcasing the versatility of the hammered dulcimer in traditional, contemporary, and global settings. From Celtic staples like “Planxty Irwin” and “Scarborough Fair” to folk-infused originals like “New Waltz” and “Homesteader’s Reel,” the playlist highlights the instrument’s melodic shimmer and percussive clarity. Pieces like Ted Yoder’s live cover of “Eleanor Rigby” and the medley-driven “Road to Lisdoonvarna / Black Nag / Morrison’s Jig” add rhythmic movement and familiar melodies, while “Ocean of Wisdom” and “In Waves” explore more ambient, modern textures.

This playlist touches on a variety of genres and moods—from lullabies like “Naya’s Song” and “Lullaby for a Soul’s Journey,” to classical adaptations such as “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring / Rondo in G,” and world music influences with tracks like “Tsimbl Khosidl” and “Jaane Dil Mein.” Whether drawn to the hammered dulcimer’s roots in Appalachian and Celtic traditions or curious about its use in new musical territories, this mix presents a broad sampling of what the instrument can do.
