The Great War
2014 was the centenary of the “war to end all wars” and I had the idea to compose some music around the subject. Rather than just release one song or EP in 2014, I decided it would be an interesting concept to release one song a year, from 2014 to 2018 that, combined, would form one (longer) piece of music.
In 2018 Bad Elephant approached me with the idea of releasing the project as a full album and this opportunity has allowed me to re-record and reinterpret the songs I had written since 2014 and also include some additional ones, the end result being The Great War album.

Chanson allemande – Zweiter Bericht über den Unbekannten Soldaten unter dem Triumphbogen – Bertolt Brecht – ça. 1920.
Texte de Bertolt Brecht, dans le recueil « Lieder Gedichte Chöre, 1918-1933 », publié en 1934.
Musique de Kurt Weill, quatrième mouvement de la cantate pour ténor, baryton, chœur de trois voix d’hommes et orchestre intitulée « Das Berliner Requiem », qu’il a composée en 1928.
Ici, Brecht abandonne le grotesque et admet qu’il ne pourra jamais y avoir de résurrection pour ce soldat qui a été assassiné, massacré, déchiré et rendu ainsi inconnu. Il n’y aura jamais de jugement dernier. Alors vous, maudits qui l’avez tué, vous pouvez dormir tranquilles, mais au moins enlevez cette pierre tombale, cet arc de triomphe, et arrêtez vos hymnes de victoire inutiles et scandaleux qui me blessent, moi qui chaque jour continue à me demander : pourquoi n’êtes-vous pas ceux qui sont morts,...

Un poème, transformé par Kurt Weill en chanson, qui fait la paire avec la Legende vom toten Soldaten de 1918 et la surpasse dans son ironie féroce et grotesque déjà inégalée. Là, le soldat mort était “ressuscité” une fois la guerre presque terminée, afin qu’il puisse se joindre aux tambours de la propagande et mourir héroïquement une seconde fois ; ici, en revanche, un simple soldat, un pauvre homme, est choisi et tué par d’autres – de toutes les nationalités, d’ailleurs – son corps est horriblement dépecé...

This song tells the story of a young father who, in 1915, is sent to the trenches. Among fear, human weaknesses and all kind of challenges, he realizes one thing: this will not be the last war, or the last son, or the last year of the world.

La sua tomba nel cimitero di Poelcapelle fuori Ypres in Belgio è una delle più famose del fronte occidentale. Che in seguito siano stati trovati dei documenti attestanti la sua maggiore età (dal suo certificato di nascita ritrovato è nato il 16 ottobre 1896 e quindi al momento della morte il 24 maggio 1915 aveva compiuto 18 anni) poco importa ormai essendo il suo nome diventato un simbolo del Soldier Boys. Resta il fatto, assurdo nella sua tragicità, che anche molti altri giovani in quei tempi mentivano sulla loro età pur di essere arruolati (l'età minima richiesta erano i 18 anni compiuti).

The Flowers O' the Forest
![The Flowers O' the Forest](img/links/t_606ada90_624bbb9f.jpeg)
Anche per The Flowers of Knaresborough Forest (come per The Flowers of the Forest del versante scozzese) il punto di arrivo della canzone viene da lontano. Tutto ebbe inizio con la battaglia di Flodden del 1513 una battaglia cruciale nella storia della Scozia e dell’Inghilterra del giovane Enrico VIII. Come in Scozia anche in Inghilterra poco dopo la battaglia iniziarono a circolare delle ballate sugli eventi e i personaggi coinvolti.Tra le molte rielaborazioni di tutto questo materiale tradizionale troviamo la poesia di Frederic William Moorman pubblicata nel 1918 in The Song of the Ridings con il titolo “The Flowers of Knaresborough Forest”.

Demoghèla!
Anonymous
![Demoghèla!](img/thumb/c6168_130x140.jpeg?1329778119)
Secondo me bisogna soffermarsi soprattutto sul finissimo umorismo di "Demoghela" Tra l'altro "nunzieremo al capitano" è la perfetta, in questo caso scherzosa traduzione di "Melde gehorsamst", cioè "avviso con il massimo rispetto" una formula obbligatoria con cui i soldati semplici si dovevano rivolgere ai superiori. Ne trabocca "Il buon soldato Schweik" di Jaroslaw Hasek.
L'autore di "demoghela" presumibilmente resta ignoto, e la melodia della canzone potrebbe esser stata presa da qualcuna delle marce eseguite dalle bande militari austriache ogni sabato pomeriggio nelle città dell'impero, anche ben prima della guerra mondiale (come ricordano il grande Roth nel suo "Radetzkimarsch". il triestino di livello europeo Saba nel suo "Canzoniere" e gli indimenticabili Lino Carpinteri e Mariano Faraguna in "Serbidiola".

Tune: Auld Lang Syne (Il valzer delle candele, o canzone dell'addio)
Born to Irish parents in Fulham in 1895, Edward Dwyer joined the East Surrey Regiment at the age of 16. When war broke out he served in the Retreat from Mons, the first battle fought by the British Army against the Germans. After his heroic grenade defence of a trench on Hill 60 just outside Ypres in April 1915, he became (at the time) the youngest person to be awarded the Victoria Cross.
The following year, recuperating from injuries back in England, Dwyer made a sound recording on the Regal label. It is thought to be the only such recording of a serving British soldier during World War I. In less than six minutes he talks about life at the front, pay and rations and so forth. He observes that, to keep their spirits up, the troops sang songs with their own rewritten lyrics.
