Jodler#

Yodelling song (German: Jodler), a sung passage without text which changes register between chest notes and falsetto. The yodelling song is sung to syllables made up of vowels and consonants ("hol-la-di-o, dul-ye, dye-ho-ri-ridl, di-ri-di-ri-a-ha") and is remarkable for its wide melodic range and the rapidity of vocal leaps between low chest notes and high falsetto. It is usually sung by several voices, either by itself or as a repeated refrain or closing chorus in folk songs. The yodelling song is most common in Styria and in Tirol; it is less common in Carinthia. Also known as "Wullaza" (also "Hullaza") in Styria, as "Almer" in Upper Austria, and as "Dudler" in Lower Austria.
