Backe, Backe Kuchen
"Backe, backe Kuchen" is a popular German-language children's rhyme. The original was in Saxony and Thuringia with several textual versions from 1840. Text and melody The melody musically structures the text in the way of bar form. The framing lines follow a conventional four-bar period, where only the melodic variation in the postscript of the reprise (i.e. in the last two bars) enlivens the otherwise rather monotonous course. However, the symmetry of these run counter to the bars of the sung "middle part". This irregularity is common in folk songs when litany-like prose texts are set to music. Familiar songs that use this effect are significantly stronger than that with a relatively simple three-bar song, examples like "Backe, backe Kuchen" include "" or the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas". The song describes a common practice in earlier times: bakers, after baking bread, ''called'' with a horn to signal to the women of the neighbourhood that the residua ...

Volkslied
Volkslied (literally: folk song) is a genre of popular songs in German which are traditionally sung. While many of them were first passed orally, several collections were published from the late 18th century. Later, some popular songs were also included in this classification. History The earliest songs in German appeared in the 12th century. Art songs were created by minstrels and meistersinger while cantastoria (''Bänkelsänger'') sang songs in public that were orally transmitted. Song collections were written from the late 15th century, such as '' Lochamer-Liederbuch'' and '' Glogauer Liederbuch''. Georg Forster's '' Frische teutsche Liedlein'' was first printed in 1536. In the period of Sturm und Drang, poets and authors became interested in that which they saw as simple, close to nature, original, and unspoiled (nach dem ). Johann Gottfried Herder coined the term 'Volkslied' in the late 18th century, and published ''Von deutscher Art und Kunst'' (On German ways and ar ...
