Are you sleeping Demonstration
This is a demonstration of the children's song Are you Sleeping? which shares the same melody as Frere Jacques.
A round is a musical form the has three or more voices singing exactly the same song. The song begins in different places and, as in this video, often ends in different places.
All four voices begin this song together then break up into the four individual parts. The structure of this song makes all four secions of the song sound like they are occurring at the same time.
The lyrics to this song are:
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Brother John, Brother John
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding, ding dong, ding, ding dong.
Using the same melody you can also sing Frere Jacques:
Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong.
