  "lineage": "Alpine Jodel (\"yodel\") vocal tradition of the Austrian Tyrol, Swiss German-speaking cantons, and Bavarian Alps, characterized by rapid alternation between chest-register and falsetto-register on extended vowel-only melodic phrases (without text). Developed historically as a cattle-herder long-distance signaling system in the high mountain pastures, with parallel survival as social-celebration song in village gathering contexts. Performance ranges from solo Naturjodler unaccompanied lyrical-melodic form to multipart Jodler-with-Stubenmusik chamber-ensemble accompanied versions. The Swiss Yodel Festival (Eidgenössisches Jodlerfest, founded 1924) constitutes the institutional anchor; the parallel Austrian-Tyrolean and Bavarian regional traditions maintain village-level transmission.",
