It was by pure coincidence I stumble to learn about the Yodeling singing style! Not that I haven’t heard it in various forms previously, but I didn’t know that this type of music is actually orally meaningful and had a name.

I enjoyed searching this topic in the sense of amusement how GOD had gifted us humans with special hidden features that we don't know about. It's untill we are placed in a certain Culture, Circumstances, and a Giographical Location that we bring these gifts to practice.

Yodeling (or yodelling, jodeling) is a form of singing that involves singing an extended note which rapidly and repeatedly changes in pitch from the vocal or chest register (or "chest voice" to the falsetto/head register; making a high-low-high-low sound. This vocal technique is used in many cultures throughout the world. (Source – Wikipedia)

Yodeling is to the Alps what the Beach Boys are to Southern California, or what hog calling is to the Ozarks. But what exactly is yodeling? Compton's Encylopedia describes the yodel as "a style of singing two alternating tones, a lower one with a full voice and a higher one with a lighter falsetto voice." For a less academic description, we can turn to the classic "knock, knock" joke:

"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Little old lady."
"Little old lady who?"
"I didn't know you could yodel!"

Yodeling comes in different styles, from the undulating two-tone cries of Swiss cowherds and goatherds to the soft, mellow choral yodels of Austrian and Bavarian Adventsingen.

Nowadays, Swiss and Austrian yodeling is heard mainly in folklore festivals, tourist restaurants, or sound recordings. The local yokels are too busy making money off tourists to yodel from mountaintops. Someone has to take on the responsibility for keeping outdoor yodeling alive, so why not do it yourself? Learn about the history of yodeling, take an online course, listen to recorded examples, memorize yodeling jokes, and try a "Yodel" drink recipe by using the links on the next two pages. By the time you visit Switzerland or Austria, you'll be ready to impress the natives with your yodeling knowledge and ability. (Source – Europe For Visitors )

Yodeling has been incorporated into all types of music released over the decades including dance, techno, drum & bass, rock and many more.

“I still remember the stories my father used to tell me about their generation. They used to receive a financial support and social rewards from the government just to go to adult education schools along with a salary. Those were benefits for yesterday’s generation.

 

Yesterday’s generation and today’s generation, us being part of the latter, grew up depending mainly on the government, working hard to receive salaries! That might be the only privilege we gain these days, we are thankful yet that could limit our social securities.

 

What the government gives us; we take it and adjust our lives to it. We may be ambitious at a certain time of our lives having great ideas and plans of our future floating before our eyes. We learn, we aim and we dream.

Yet that ambition fades and dies by time without seeing the light of success.  

 

It fades and dies because “We think” we lack resources, we are neither capable nor encouraged, “We think” we don’t have what it needs to implement what we’ve dreamt for.

 

No one knows how rewarding our society is going to be in the future!

We are part of the future’s generation, why settle for less?

Why live unsecured and limited?

Why accept less! When we all know that more lays in our hands.

It’s the time for us to take an action and paint our future. It’s not impossible as our prophet Mohammed, PBUH, said what means: “if you want to change a society, start with yourself!

 

If people in other parts of the world were able to do it when their society wasn’t giving, SO we can as well!”
