Composers in both Canada and France have made use of the song - eg, the Frenchman H. Maurice Jacquet in his Rhapsodie sur un chant canadien for piano (Édition Belgo-Canadienne 1925) and Eldon Rathburn in his Variations and Fugue on Alouette (1953) for small orchestra. Several arrangements and harmonizations have been made for vocal and instrumental ensembles. Charles W. Sabatier's song 'L'Alouette,' however, has no connection with the folksong, nor do the various Alouette Reels. As is only fitting, the Alouette Vocal Quartet has recorded the song (issued as a 78 on Bluebird B-1256 and reissued on the LPs RCA 1032 and RCA CGP 140). Other recordings have been made by Aglaé, the Choeur des chanteurs d'Acadie, the Chorale de l'Université St-Joseph, Éviola Gauthier, Jacques Labrecque, Charles Marchand and his Bytown Troubadours, and Alan Mills. In 1978 the Quebec group Garolou recorded it for an LP (London LFS 9027). Edith Fowke included it in The Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs (Harmondsworth, England 1973).
The name Alouette has continued to be used extensively for commercial purposes.
