Check out this amazing book and CD ! Contact ataydance@gmail.com for details or to place an order.
Der Hamdia is a fast and playful canon. Hola Dje is a wistful call & response with contrary motion.
A slow, haunting melody filled with parallel thirds.
A canon similar to Der Hamdia with a pleasing ending.
The ten jodels on the CD come from the book by Werner von Trapp and my father, Conny Taylor. The book was first published in 1959 and the final printing was in 1981. I sang these jodels as a child. I learned from Werner each year at the Oktoberfest camp that my parents, Marianne and Conny Taylor, founded and ran in Stow, VT. The last year I sang with Werner was 1987, when he and Erica came to the Oktoberfest for the last time.
