Frère Jacques | Are you sleeping | The story, lyrics and music
Frère Jacques is a very familiar folk song well loved by children. It originates from France. My earliest memory about this tune goes back to my kindergarten days. I learned this song in Mandarin Chinese, not in English, and the meanings in the Chinese lyrics were entirely different from the English version. Let's take a look at the different versions of the lyrics.
In this episode I'll demonstrate the singing of this folk tune in English, French, and Chinese. Also I will present the recording of a four-hand piano duet I arranged for this tune.
In addition, I will introduce the idea about a fun singing form: round. You will see how vocal music is performed in imitation and chase by multiple voices!
