J'entends le Moulin - Marilyn E. Broughton

📣 🥁 Drum roll, please!!! 🥁 📣
Our third music video filmed last season features our Growing Voices ensemble, performing J'entends le Moulin, a French-Canadian Folksong arr. by Marilyn E. Broughton.
This piece is a folk song that translates into I Hear The Mill. The song has the steady, rhythmic beat of “ticka-tacka,” meant to replicate the sound of the mill wheel in a factory!
The translation is:
I hear the millwheel (tique tique taque)
My father is having a house built.
It’s being built with three gables.
There are three carpenters building it.
The youngest is my darling.
What do you have in your apron?
It’s a pie made of three pigeons.
Let’s sit down and eat it.
While sitting down they all lept up,
Causing the sea and fish to tremble, and the stones on the bottom of the sea.! 🎶
The song has the steady, rhythmic beat of “ticka-tacka,” meant to replicate the sound of the mill wheel in a factory. We bet you'll imagine it whizzing and whirling as you watch our video! 🎶
Check out the premiere tonight at 7:00 pm! 🤩 Link in bio!
