The French word frère in turn comes from the Latin word frater (which also means "brother"). In English, the word friar is derived from the Old French word frere (Modern French frère "brother" in English), as French was still widely used in official circles in England during the 13th century when the four great orders of Friars started. The traditional English translation preserves the scansion, but alters the meaning such that Brother John is being awakened by the bells. Frère Jacques has apparently overslept, it is time to ring the bells for matins, and someone wakes him up with this song. The song concerns a monk's duty to ring the bell for matines. You’ll start first.The result of all four parts runs together into the same two measures: an authentic cadence. If everything is correct I should finish two measures after you do. One option is that you start first and I start when you get to the third measure as soon as your party’s over and go back to the beginning and repeat it again. I hope you had fun with this nice little tune if you got this far you’re ready to play this as a real cannon. Check your posture violin Beauford find that disturbing. Now we’ll play the whole song each time a little faster. If you need more time to learn some of the sections a little better. So let’s do it together chokepoints posture and alignment biling position rotation of the left arm evenly distributed between all the joints and position in a way that the left finger is just above the place that should be pressing bow arm at the level of G-string. We use the forefinger and that way avoid the string crossings or if after that we continue on the next string we play open string. In general the rule for using the forefinger is if the next note is on the same string. And you want to teach your little finger to be ready for that. Well in this particular situation you can certainly do this but there are many instances when you will have to use the forefinger. Oh so I’m sure at this point some of you ask the question why should I use the forefinger. So this will be a good checkpoint to see if the hand is at the correct position. Now with less pause and now with no pause very good in the last section we’re going to use the forefinger on the G-string. So it will sound like that’s was all right. We’ll start with adding a short pause between the grips and as we repeated it will start less and less. And when I say prepare the finger I mean just start bringing it closer to the place it’s going to press the string like that’s. And lastly start preparing the third finger while you’re still playing the open string before that. Next try putting down both third and second fingers together like this. And second group all the notes on destroying. Think of the first three notes as one group and the second three notes as another like that’s first group all the notes on a string. Here are a couple of tips that will make learning this part a little easier. The third pattern moves faster than the others it is in eighth notes whereas the others are in quarter and half it’s.
