''Backe, backe Kuchen'' is a popular German language children's rhyme. The original was in Saxony and Thuringia with several textual versions from 1840. It follows iambic pentameter with the melody. == Text and Melody == Backe, backe Kuchen, Der Bäcker hat gerufen. Wer will guten Kuchen backen, der muss haben sieben Sachen, Eier und Schmalz, Zucker und Salz, Milch und Mehl, Safran macht den Kuchen gehl! Schieb, schieb in'n Ofen 'nein. Which translates as Bake a cake, bake a cake, The baker has called. Who wants to bake good cakes, must have seven things, Eggs and lard, Sugar and salt, Milk and flour, Saffron makes the cake yellow! Shove, shove it in the oven. 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. Interestingly, 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 ''Der Bauer schickt den Jockel aus'' or the Christmas carol ''The Twelve Days of Christmas''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Backe, backe Kuchen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
