Edmonds resident and University of Washington Professor Emeritus Gary Martin joined Yannick Wey, a senior research associate at the Competence Center for Music Education Research at Lucerne School of Music, Switzerland to explore the instrument’s origins and its connections to the Alpine yodel. Wey also wrote a book on the musical connection between the alphorn and yodeling, which Martin translated from German into English with the collaboration of Wey and two co-authors. At the end of the presentation, which drew 93 people, Martin and Wey gave audience members a chance to play the alphorn for themselves. There are thousands of alphorn players worldwide, including those who participate in the local Puget Sound Alphorns.
