Frère Jacques

Frère Jacques is a French children's song, known in German-speaking countries under the title brother Jacob or Master Jacob. This is in spite of the few song lines to a four-part canon, which is very popular for a long time due to its catchy melody in children.

The source of the song is not been definitively explained; a derivation of the French Frère Jacques Beaulieu Lithotomus (1651-1720) has been repeatedly claimed, but is considered unsecured. Usually, the French version is considered to be the original, but there are indications that bring the song with the road to Santiago de Compostela before the 17th century in connection, which would suggest the Latin or Spanish version of the original.

Frère Jacques is known not only in German and French, but in all European languages ​​as well as in many languages ​​outside Europe, including: Afrikaans, Spanish, Argentinian, Berber, Chinese, ( Haitian Creole ), Tamil, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Turkish, Thai, Swahili, Latin, Japanese, Indonesian, Esperanto.

A famous quote of the song can be found in the 3rd sentence of the 1st Symphony of Gustav Mahler. Mahler, indicating as the title of his presentation, "Brother Martin ," citing the song is not in a major key, but in a minor key, which gives the piece a funeral march - like character. The transposition to minor but seems contrary to popular opinion to be no invention Mahler; Rather, this was the widespread in the 19th and early 20th century version in Austria.
