  Will there be Yodeling in Heaven?
A genuine yodel is one without words, not really 'music,' but acoustical signals, most often associated with cowherds communicating with one another and their herds from mountain to mountain.
This is far-fetched because yodeling and the domestication of grazing animals predates the invention of the alpenhorn.
Still others believe the origin of the yodel is the human soul; as a psychological reaction to the breathtaking scenery surrounding the cowherd -- yodeling's wide leaps of high and low notes evoking the exalted hills, the awe of the human spirit.

  Yodeling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yodeling (or yodelling) is a form of singing that involves singing an extended note which rapidly and repeatedly changes in pitch from the vocal chest register (or "chest voice") to the head register (or "head voice"), making a high-low-high-low sound.
Yodelling is one of the most developed uses of this technique, wherein a singer will switch between these registers several times within the same note, at a high volume.
Yodeling is less often seen in pop music and rock, probably because there is not much of an accompanying tradition of its use.

Yodeling is a means of vocal performance whereby the singer suddenly changes from a natural voice to a falsetto and back again, constantly alternating between chest and head voices.
His yodel wasn't merely sugar-coating on the song, it was as important as the lyric, mournful and plaintive or happy and carefree, depending on a song's emotional content.
Though "Blue Yodel" was a success, its sales grew steadily throughout early 1928, which meant that the couple wasn't able to reap the financial benefits until the end of the year.

Yodeling started out as a means of communications between next-door neighbors.
Actually yodeling was originally called "Juchizn," an array of short yells which had different meanings, like "it's dinner time" or "it's a boy." Yodeling turned out to be so much fun that it quickly turned into an art form and it expanded into the Swiss and Bavarian Alps.

 Mary Schneider : Yodeling the Classics, Vol. 1 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In an era of superstar divas and pop-friendly opera uncles, the sight of a classically trained singer yodeling her way through the classics might seem like another stab at giving classical musicians some mainstream clout.
For this 1996 disc, she is joined by Tommy Tycho and the somewhat dubiously named Sydney International Orchestra for a refined Swiss romp through the music of Brahms, Mozart, Beethoven, Rossini, and Bizet.
Schneider shifts from some yodeling acrobatics on Offenbach's "Can Can Overture" to a singing and yodeling combo on the pop-friendly "Toselli's Serenade." She further runs the gamut by moving from the delicateness of Brahms' "Lullaby Yodel" to the patriotic bombast of some Sousa marches.

No.11 is "I am a Yodeling Girl", sung by a man. The rest are in German, Swiss-German, etc, though many sounded like they were sung by Americans learning a second language.
Yodeling originated in the alps, so the title is not really that misleading, and this CD exhibits the best of Cowboy Yodeling, as well as Traditional Yodeling.
It seemed not professional; lacked "duets" or female yodeling; included two schmaltzy numbers by a little girl, many of the songs were not "authentic" and several did not have yodeling at all such as "Roll Out the Barrel." Four or five songs out of 22 seemed appropriate to the title.
