La Jument De Michao
''La Jument de Michao'' ("Michao's mare" in French) or ''Le Loup, le Renard et la Belette'' ("The Wolf, the Fox and the Weasel") is a recent (1973) Breton adaptation of two different Western French traditional songs, also found in Brittany, the original one may be a medieval French song of Burgundy origin: '' J'ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre''. The integration in the Breton patrimony was made under the shape of a song deduct (ten to one couplet) typical of Upper Brittany (in Gallo language), but in other French regions too. The music dances on the rhythm of the ''An dro'' (Gwened), one of the most known Breton round dances. It is about a parody of liturgical '' Dies Irae'', whose origin would go back up to the fifteenth century in the country of Beaune and of which there are numerous variants in the French regions. The lyrics talk about the mare of Michao (Gallo for Michael) who ate all the hay and will not pass winter ; they are blended with references to other animals (w ...

Songs About Wolves
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers f ...
