 Get ready for a fun, musical adventure! In this episode of the Greenhouse Music Podcast, we explore the mysterious origins of “Frère Jacques” – a nursery rhyme melody so old, nobody knows who wrote it. 🎶 Why is it hard to trace its roots? Because it was passed down orally through generations until someone finally wrote it down! We’ll learn how tunes traveling by word-of-mouth can change over time and lack clear origins until they’re recorded. Plus, we highlight how a simple melody like Frère Jacques can be reused and adapted into brand-new songs. (Did you know “Where Is Thumbkin?” uses the same tune? 🤔 Now you do!)

But that’s not all – we’ve created a new song called “Is It Raining?” using the Frère Jacques melody. 🌦️🎵 Hear how we recycled an old tune to make a fun original song about checking the weather. We also celebrate composer Camille Saint-Saëns’ birthday with a peek into his imaginative Carnival of the Animals, and share what Mozart piece has been on repeat in our home this week.

🎶 Perfect for kids, families, and classrooms — this episode combines music history, creativity, and fun sing-alongs to make music come alive! Join us as we turn a musical mystery into a learning adventure.
