Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fere jake From: FreddyHeadey Date: 02 Jun 18 - 06:22 PM BBC Radio3 Interval talk "Twenty Minutes" - Are You Sleeping, Brother John - Frere Jacques " ... existing in a huge variety of languages, from Finnish ("Jaako Kulta") to Mandarin ("Liang Zhi Lao Hu"). Itsorigins, meaning and influence on global musical culture belie its childish simplicity; it's been used as a political protest song, an emblem of "la bonne France" after the Second World War, and is parodied today by schoolchildren in playgrounds across France. Even Gustav Mahler famously referenced the rhyme in his First Symphony, transforming it into a minor-key funeral march, and warping the song's flavour of innocence and childhood. Peggy Reynolds takes us on a journey through the lavish lifestyle of snoozy Dominican friars at Matins, the blood and gore of the surgeon's table, and the religious persecutions and migrations of the 17th century."

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fere jake From: Jack Campin Date: 02 Jun 18 - 07:25 PM I think that label for what Mahler was doing in his First Symphony was wrong. Mahler's tune is the opening of "Hajané, hajané", a folksong which I know from the region of umquhile Greater Hungary which is now southern Slovakia. Which may itself share melodic genes with "Frère Jacques", but Mahler probably got it from much nearer home than France and with less editing. |
