Read an interesting article about the origins of “Frere Jacques” here: (“Are You Sleeping Brother John” is Track 12 of Disk 2) I love this sing-along track using traditional instruments (played by Nashville Studio Instrumentals): (Lyrics by Teddy Slater, from book “ABC Sing-Along”)įind a simple, usable sing-along track here: Sing the words of the song for the letter J to the tune of “Frere Jacques!” She began the round again, and four voices joined in a sound Jo believed the angels would have envied.Words and Chords Adapted by ELEG for SBWE It was so small a triumph, yet she found herself overwhelmed and weeping. Stevie was with her, and he knew she was with him. Then a high little hum, like an echo of the round’s final line, reached her-Ding, dang, dong. They went through the round once again, Jo praying that she would hear Stevie. To hum was liberating, to fill the cabin with the nearest thing to talk they could achieve. Grace joined him, and Jo’s voice became a part of the music, too.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, Brother John, Brother John? It was Scott. Once again, only a terrible, silent waiting filled the cabin. It was Grace, who hummed with Jo, Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing. Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, Brother John, Brother John? Now she heard the resonance of another voice, but it wasn’t Stevie’s. She stopped, hoping for a response that didn’t come. Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, Brother John, Brother John? Morning bells are ringing. Jo began to hum, thinking the words in her head.
Morning bells are ringing! Morning bells are ringing! Frère Jacques (in French in English: Brother John, in Dutch: Vader(/Pater) Jacob), is a nursery rhyme of French origin.
