Violin Duet Violin - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1497811 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by D. Berry. Chamber,Children,Classical,Folk,Traditional. 5 pages. D. Berry #1074221. Published by D. Berry (A0.1497811). Frere Jacques is a well known round. The lyrics: Frère Jacques, frère Jacques, dormez-vous? dormez-vous? sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines, ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong tell the story of a sleepy friar who has failed to wake up for morning prayers. This version for violin duet preserves some aspects of the round, while also elaborating on the arrangement. The top (student) part is easy since it simply consists of several repetitions of the melody, while the teacher part is more developed and gives interest to the performance as the piece develops. This is a good first concert piece for beginners to play with a teacher or more advanced student, and is also suitable for group performance.
