Jodelling

Jodelling, also known as yodeling, is a vocal technique that involves rapid shifts between the normal voice and a high-pitched, resonant head voice called the "yodel." This method creates a distinctive, echoing sound often associated with Alpine music. It originated in the mountainous regions of Europe and was historically used by herders and travelers to communicate across valleys. Modern yodeling is both a cultural tradition and a musical art form, showcasing vocal agility and control. The technique emphasizes precise pitch changes and is often performed with expressive, spirited singing.
