Quote: "All I was able to find out about Frere Jacques is that it is
listed as a traditional French folk song/canon with the melody first
appearing in print in 1811 in a publication called La Cle du Caveau a
l'usage de tous les Chansonniers francais. The first known printing of
the words and music together is in Recueil de Rondes avec jeu et de
Petites Chansons (1860). One writer tried to trace this song to
Fescobaldi's Fra Jacopino in 1637, without success."

"Frere Jacques"
"Frere Jacques" origin
"Frere Jacques" 1811

a very complete, thorough answer offering me more information
than i dreamed was available!

I once heard that this song originated in the middle ages in Europe.
In the times when there were no clocks, monasteries keft the time and
rang the bells each round hour.
This song is about one of the "brothers" in the monastery that failed
either to wake up or either to ring the bells, signaling that the
morning has come.

Did anyone hear of another origin?
