I Come and Stand at Every Door

I Come and Stand at Every Door
The Great Silkie Of Sule Skerrie
# Child 113




L'antichissima ballata scozzese nella classica interpretazione di Joan Baez (da Joan Baez Ballad Book, vol. I, 1969). Testo: The Oxford Book Of Ballads, edited by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch ("Q"), 1910; a sua volta ripreso da: Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, I (1852), 86. Joan Baez, nella sua versione, si allontana in alcuni punti dalla pronuncia scozzese e non canta la strofa indicata tra [parentesi quadre].
Molto del grande successo di questa canzone, oltre all'emozionante testo di Nâzim Hikmet tradotto da Pete Seeger e interpretato dai Byrds, è dovuto alla melodia assolutamente unica, rielaborata (ma con nessuna modifica sostanziale) da quella dell'antica ballata scozzese The Great Silkie of Sule Skerrie. La seguente presentazione fu da me preparata nel 1988 per un Sito sulle Child Ballads; la riprendo per l'occasione.... (continuer)

Paroles et musique par Marco Valdo M.I.
Canzone léviane – Via Moncalieri
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 6.

Via Moncalieri est la sixième canzone du cycle du Cahier ligné. Via Moncalieri, c'est l'enfance de Carlo Levi, c'est Turin. À cette époque, vers le début du siècle dernier, Turin est une grande ville – pour son temps, elle voisine encore avec les champs. La Via Moncalieri s'en va vers les premières côtes toutes proches qui mènent vers les Alpes que l'on voit pas trop loin. Les enfants, les autres...les petits paysans du village encore tout proche parlent le dialecte . « A sun rivà. I Cunt a sun rivà !» Et les terres, les champs, les prés, sont aux Comtes de Roero; c'est la génération suivante qui détruira le paysage à coups d'automobiles et d'industries. En ce temps-là, on respire encore assez bien aux portes de la ville. Lucia, sœur Lucia, qui soigne Carlo Levi aveugle et qui... (continuer)

Montezuma
[1997]
Album “Punkreas 90-93”

Si è sempre narrato che l’ultimo tlatoani azteco Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin, più noto come Moctezuma, fu un gran vigliacco che consegnò di fatto l’impero in mano a un manipolo di scalzacani spagnoli guidati dal tagliagole Hernán Cortés. Si è sempre narrato che i sudditi di Moctezuma si incazzarono a tal punto per sua vigliaccheria da finire con l’ucciderlo con le loro stesse mani. Ma – e c’era da aspettarselo, dato che la storia la scrivono sempre i vincitori – non andò proprio così. Al British Museum di Londra sta per inaugurarsi una grande mostra dedicata all’ultimo imperatore azteco e i gli studiosi che hanno curato l’esposizione sostengono, sulla base di nuove risultanze scaturite da manoscritti trovati a Glasgow e Cuernavaca, che non vi fu affatto una rivolta di popolo contro un monarca traditore e collaborazionista ma che Moctezuma, divenuto ostaggio degli...

If You Miss Me At The Back Of The Bus

If You Miss Me At The Back Of The Bus
Interpretata da Harry Belafonte

This song speaks metaphorically about the restrictions forced onAfrican-Americans before the changes wrought by the Civil Rights Movement of the Sixties. For example, the words of the first verse are: “If you miss me at the back of the bus/And you can’t find menowhere/Come on over to the front of the bus/I’ll be sittin’ right there.”
Scritta nel 1963 da Charles "Carver" Neblett, uno dei membri originari del gruppo The SNCC Freedom Singers, sulla melodia della tradizionale "O Mary Don’t You Weep”.

Babies In The Mill
‎[1930s]‎
Testo trovato su Folk Archive‎



Canzone contro il lavoro minorile composta negli anni 30 (ma registrata solo nel 1962) da Dorsey ‎Murdock Dixon, un operaio tessile di Darlington, South Carolina. Lui stesso aveva cominciato a ‎lavorare in fabbrica all’età di 12 anni, ma era stato fortunato perché la sorella Nancy ed il fratello ‎Howard avevano iniziato rispettivamente a 8 e 10 anni…‎

(Dead End)

BABIES IN THE MILL was written by Dorsey Dixon in the 1960s remembering the child labor he had known in earlier years of mill work. He and his family worked in the Aleo Mills in East Rockingham, North Carolina. With his brother Howard he played music at secular and religious gatherings in his community. An especially articulate writer, he... had a stint of recordings in the 30s. He had some commercial success with his WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY sung by Roy Acuff. Only that song, and to some... (continuer)

Canzone léviane – Louche
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 5.

Louche est la cinquième canzone du cycle du Cahier ligné. Elle se déroule également dans cet univers aux reflets oniriques et aux résonances politiques, en arrière-plan. On est à Rome, en plein cœur de Rome et surgit dans un décor de marbre somptueusement fasciste, au milieu de personnages louches, une Princesse de Savoie. Carlo Levi est entraîné dans cette vague et contre son gré, doit continuer le voyage avec ces personnages. C'est évidemment ce qui est arrivé au peuple italien et ce qui lui arrive encore. Quant à Pozzi Bellini, c'était un photographe italien de grande renommée au milieu du siècle écoulé.

Attorno a quella sedia
Una nota cronologica solo per chiarire il senso di una strofa:
la canzone nasce di getto a novembre 1984 leggendo un minuscolo trafiletto sul giornale che segnalava senza pathos un'esecuzione capitale negli States corredandola dell'annuncio che il giorno dopo sarebbe toccato anche a una donna, "fatto che non accadava da anni".

La canzone in origine aveva due strofe in più a cui il tempo non ha reso giustizia e sono state perciò messe da parte.

Nei concerti dell'epoca la dedicammo spesso a Bruce Cockburn, ispiratore musicale e di denuncia ed impegno civile.

Murmansk

Murmansk is located on the Kola Gulf in the Barents Sea in Russia. It is 25 miles north of Leningrad (St. Petersburg),and about 35 miles from the open sea. It is the largest city in the world north of the Arctic Circle, and is the principal base for the Russian deep sea fishing fleet and the home of the Arctic Fisheries and Oceanography Research Institutes.
The port of Murmansk is ice free, and is kept open all winter by warm currents flowing up from the Gulf Stream. It was founded in 19115 as a port ot receive Allied supplies for the Russian armies during WWI. It was held by Allied ilnterventionists from 1918 to 1920 following the Bolshevik Revolution.
In WWII the post resisted a German drive, and was again used as a port for Allied convoys bring supplies to Russian troops.

Mon pauvre Gunther

Mon pauvre Gunther
[1977]
Album "Les Aventures de Simon et Gunther..."

Si tratta di un concept album sul tema di due fratelli separati dal Muro a Berlino.

"Simon et Gunther sont deux frères allemands : Simon est né en 1933, Gunther en 1942. Simon habite Berlin Ouest et Gunther, Berlin Est (Viertel). Leur père fut arrêté en 1942 pour désertion.

Le 13 août 1961, les deux frères ont rendez-vous rue Bernauer ; mais de chaque côté du mur, des militaires les renvoient chez eux. Suit alors une série de lettres, et les deux frères planifient alors une évasion, avec Axel et Lilli, des amis d'enfance eux aussi séparés... Axel et Lilli se retrouvent, ils sont fiancés et attendent encore un enfant. On apprend qu'il n'y a plus de nouvelles de Simon. On peut supposer qu'en essayant de passer Simon se fait tuer alors qu'Axel réussit à passer."

History and references behind Al Stewart's songs from www.alstewart.com

League of Nations

The League of Nations was an international organization formed after World War I to promote cooperation, peace and security. The basis for the League is found in the Treaty of Versailles,which provided for such an international assembly. The United States, which failed to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, never became a member.
Based in Geneva, the League was useful in settling minor disputes, but it was unable to stop acts of aggression by major powers, such as Japan's invasion of Manchuria (1931), Italy's conquest of Ethiopia (1936), etc. It collapsed early in World War II, and was dissolved in 1946.
The League established a pattern, however, that was later emulated in the development of the United Nations.

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (1879 - 1953)

Stalin was born Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili in Gori, Georgia, Transcaucasia. He attended the parish school in Gori, and entered the seminary of Tiflis in 1894. There he demonstrated himself to be an able student and ambitious leader. In 1898 he joined a Georgian socialist organization and came under the influence of Marxism. In 1899, just prior to graduation, he was expelled from the seminary because of his "disloyal" views.
He was arrested in 1902 and remained in prison until 1903. While in prison he was elected a member of the Social Democratic committee. He was deported to Siberia, escaped, and returned to Tiflis in 1904 shortly after the Social Democratic Party had split into bolsheviks and mensheviks.... (continuer)

"They crossed over the border the hour before dawn ..."

The Nazi-Soviet pact was signed on August 23, 1939. In the pact an anti-communist Germany came to terms with the USSR to open an opportunity for the invasion of Poland. The Soviets, who could not negotiate an agreement with the British and/or French decided to protect themselves by dealing with the Nazis directly. The pact, signed in Moscow by Joachim von Ribbentrop and Vyacheslav Molotov, included nonaggression and trade agreements.
World War II began within weeks with the German invasion of Poland. The pact was broken when the Germans invaded the USSR in June, 1941.

History and references behind Al Stewart's songs from www.alstewart.com

In early June, 1934 Ernst Roehm (chief of staff of Germany's Sturmabteilung) had a confrontation with Hitler which reportedly lasted for nearly 5 hours. Hitler had been under the impression that forces within the S.A. were preparing a Bolshevist action he felt would bring only trouble for Germany. Hitler stated that Roehm left him with assurances that he would do everything possible to put things right. Hitler later felt that Roehm's real intentions were to begin preparations to eliminate him personally.
A day or two later Hitler told the SA to go on leave for the entire month of July. During this time they were not to wear uniforms or engage in parades or exercises.
On June 7 Roehm announced he was going on sick leave. Before leaving, however, he issued a warning. "If the enemies... (continuer)

The Spanish Civil War

The roots of the Spanish Civil War were many and deep, but the simplistic view would be that the elected Republican government was trying to improve the working conditions of the have-nots while trying to contain their more radical elements. The haves including the Church, Landowners and Military opposed them.
On July 18, 1936, General Francisco Franco and others declared a Nationalist revolt against the government. Unlike the American Civil War, and more like the English Civil War, the Republicans and the Nationalist were struggling for the control of Spain. The Republicans were supported by Western Liberals and the Soviet Union. The Nationalists were supported by Nazi Germany and the Italians.

Cycle du Cahier ligné – 4.

Et la violette va là, va là… est la quatrième canzone du cycle du Cahier ligné. Dans cet univers onirique, sur l'écran intérieur de l'aveugle, continuent à s'agiter les images revenues du néant ou du passé, ce qui est la même chose. Carlo Levi avait fait l'expérience directe des prisons fascistes (Le Nuove à Turin, Regina Coeli à Rome, Le Murate à Florence), des casernes, des hôpitaux et du confinement à Aliano en Lucanie. Il n'a jamais connu personnellement les Ordres... En toile de fond, on entend parler les sœurs, garde malades ou infirmières. Se mêlent passé et présent, l'enfance, des bribes de voyage et des images du monde. Ces matériaux qui gisent pêle-mêle dans le grand dépotoir mental où l'on va puiser pour penser le monde.

Nel finale del video viene rievocata la scena che rese famoso Al Bano nel film del 1967 che portava il nome del suo primo successo Nel sole di cui sentono alcune note in sottofondo: la scena dove Al Bano e Romina Power si rincorrevano per poi abbracciarsi diventa una stretta del "cinque" tra CapaRezza e Al Bano e la dicitura ironica: "durante la realizzazione di questo videoclip nessun pugliese è stato maltrattato". Il sole tuttavia viene inquadrato mentre scompare all'orizzonte.

Anche tenendo conto del maggior “rispetto ambientale” che si ha generalmente, in Francia, rispetto a quello che si ha in Viadottonia (conosciuta anche come “Italia”), si tratta pur sempre di una puzzolentissima e mortifera autostrada, coi suoi TIR, le sue code, i suoi incidenti, le sue aree di servizio.

Album: "We Were Good People"

"Growing up in Alberta with the Rockies as a favourite holiday destination, I only learned about the WWI internment of Ukrainian Canadians in the national parks on a trip to Jasper in Spring 2000. There, I came across Bill Waiser's book, Park Prisoners. Shortly afterwards, I read In the Shadow of the Rockies: Diary of the Castle Mountain Internment Camp, 1915-1917 by Bodhan Kordan & Peter Melnycky.
