Zur Jodeltechnik von Jimmie Rodgers:
ein seltener Jodeltyp
Analysis of a type of Yodel which begins with a falsetto chain, wherein 4 songs out of 111 recordings by J. Rodgers give them their special imprint. The type is determined by the 1st half of the Yodel line, whereas the 2nd half shows echos of another Yodel. The percent of Falsetto tones is 60%. The Yodel syllables used are [i] and [O]. The falsetto tones are characterized by 7 to 9 trained partials or harmonics, out of which f0 is by far the strongest. Subtleties of the performance are determined by spectrograms.
