Jodellehre ist bullyBy doug wiseA clearly-written history of the provenance of yodeling; its incorporation into a wide range of music-making in 19th century America; and its decline into a joke in modern American culture. Wise describes the physiology and acoustics of yodeling and isolates the elementary yodeleme. With this element in hand he goes on to identify three species of yodeling. With reference to this taxonomy he proceeds to recount -- with telling details and anecdotes -- the history of yodeling and its meanings in American music. A very lively and informative history. Readers will enrich their experience by accessing the cited recordings on YouTube. The virtuosity of the DeZurik sisters is not to be missed.
