Rename files after entries in a list

I need to rename a few files systematically. So I have a list of names I want the file names to rename in. The folder consists of wav files, that are named like:

VP01.wav
VP02.wav
VP03.wav

The order in the ID_list is already the right order. So basically I want that VP01 will be 01_a, VP02 will be 03_a, etc. I tried to do it like this:

ID_list = ['01_a', '03_a', '04_b', '01_b', '05_a', '04_a', '03_b']

import os
path = glob.glob('filepath\*.wav')
for item in path, ID_list:
    os.rename(item, item)

But it gives me: 

TypeError: rename: src should be string, bytes or os.PathLike, not list

as error. The files I want to change are wav files. Does someone know how to do it?

Here's a way to do:

from pathlib import Path

file_path = Path("path_containing_wav_files/")
path = file_path.glob('**/*.wav')

for en, x in enumerate(path):
    x.rename(ID_list[en] + '.wav')
