Changes: Frère Jacques

Revision as of 16:13, 5 May 2020

"Frère Jacques" was a well-known children's song sung in the French language, usually used for basic melody training and practicing canon music playing.

Jean-Luc Picard and the winners of the primary school science fair aboard the USS Enterprise-D sung this song while climbing up a turbolift shaft in 2368 in order to keep their attention off their predicament. (TNG: "Disaster")

"Frère Jacques" was one of the first tunes that Captain Picard, as Kamin, learned to play on his Ressikan flute. (TNG: "The Inner Light")

Picard (playing his Ressikan flute) and Nella Daren (playing her portable piano) performed a canon of "Frère Jacques" in Picard's quarters on the Enterprise-D in 2369. (TNG: "Lessons")

Frère Jacques Beaulieu was actually a celebrated 17th century French lithotomist, born in 1651.
