Charles Lyr Add: French canons (multi-part songs) (35) Lyr Add: LES VIOLES FREDONNENT 25 Nov 97


A school favourite, I heard Spanish and German versions so there's got to be one in English. Each of the voices is a type of instrument in a small orchestra. It can be sung as a round, but it doesn't have to.

strings
Les violes fredonnent, frissonnent et puis s'envolent,
Les violes fredonnent, les violes et les violons.
woodwinds
La clarinette, la clarinette, fait dou-a dou-a dou-a dou-a net'
La clarinette, la clarinette, fait dou-a dou-a dou-a dou-a da...
brass
La trompette rouspète, ta-ra ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta,
La trompette rouspète, ta-ra ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta!
percussions
Quant à la cymbale, elle n'a que deux notes,
sol do, sol do, sol sol sol sol sol sol sol do...

Still musically challenged, but tape's in the making. Enjoy. Charles :-)
