About this tune
Soldier, Poet, King is a song by The Oh Hellos. Its rising melodic figures and recurring refrain lend themselves to the clear, singing tone of the whistle.
This extended melody moves between the lower and upper registers, with two brief peaks on third-octave D. Repeated passages alternate quick runs with longer held responses.
