When the song higher voice (2)
Charles Gille, which we have already mentioned, wrote in 1847, 
the time of the colonization of Algeria, The Arab leak and put these lines in the mouth of Abd -el-Kader :
"Farewell homeland, O land of my ancestors, I carry off
, proscribed, persecuted, soil
Love, hate your masters,
A strong arm, a courage undaunted . One day Allah
race Numidian
enlighten the triumph.
flee their cities, I am swift steed,
In the desert freedom waiting. "
The proletarian singers
The late nineteenth century saw the birth of a new generation of songwriters activists, socialists like Montéhus, anarchists as Charles d'Avray. Some of them gather in a group of poets and songwriters revolutionary publish successively The song and working The Muse red.
Gaston Brunswick, said Montéhus (1872-1952) enjoyed during his lifetime as a writer and performer, a huge popular success. Three of the hundreds of songs he wrote remained in the memories: the 17th Glory, The Young Guard and The Red Butte , his masterpiece. He was also a friend of Lenin who, exiled in France, loved to listen.
The mound of the song is Baupaume in Champagne, which had plagued the working class repression.
Chantre all claims, all social struggles, the popularity of Montéhus begins to fade in the 20s.

When Lenin lived in the Rue Marie-Rose, in the district of Petit-Montrouge, he did not hear that Montéhus. In 1910 he wrote to his sister: "...

War of 14 brings a harvest of peace songs. In 1916, the only casualties on the French side were already considerable: 900 000. Hitherto the peace movement had been very low. In May 1917, riots broke out in the French army. This "ras-le-bol" is translated by the most famous songs is the song Craonne which was banned as affecting the morale of soldiers. The authors are still unknown:

" Farewell life, farewell Farewell
love all women

In this infamous war. It
Craonne, on the plateau
That should leave his skin
For we are all doomed We are
sacrificed. "
This song, along with many others, came from soldiers and spoke to the soldiers. Here's one from the back, probably in Paris, The peace march calling for the cessation of hostilities and the brotherhood of peoples:
" Hi! Hello day!
Where ends the war! Celebrating the return
peace on the earth!
Hi, men of heart,
Enough of dying on the plain ...
Unite, brothers and sisters,
Against human slaughter! "
In 1925, some singers were rebelling against the war in Morocco, including Ludovico who signed The Moroccans Morocco : "Under the Moroccan sun
is dying of thirst, hunger and misery among
Why Riftains
Who are at them to carry the war.
Enough endless struggles,
The workers there have no fraternizing
do that, they finally let
The Morocco to the Moroccans. "
In 1936 The Popular Front was in turn inspired songwriters. The festival is celebrated in Paris by Eugene Bizeau in Song Paris :
" The song is the song of Paris fruitful
Illuminating hope the forces of progress is the refrain
vibrant toured the world,
To put people at the heart of a sacred ideal. "

When artistic production is monitored by the authorities, when censorship becomes more virulent when uniforms are invited in the halls shows, when singing a tune on the street can be worth the jail, and finally when the symbolic and physical violence invests the full field of song, the political nature of the latter appears more clearly. Which in other times might seem trivial became pregnant with meaning and consequences during the German occupation of World War 2.
But it would be dangerous to think that there was, on one side, songs and collaboration, on the other, songs of resistance. They forget that the song is synonymous with entertainment and escape.
Some songs clearly showed the ideological sympathies with the occupier or the Vichy regime. Here one thinks of Marshal, here we come! composed by Charles Courtioux and Andre Montagard :
" A sacred flame rises from the native soil And France drunken salute you, Marshal
All your children who love and revere thy years
In your Final Appeal have answered this!
Marshal, here we come!
Before you, the savior of France!
We swear, we give you guys
To serve and to follow your footsteps!
Marshal, here we come!
Thou hast given renewed hope!
Homeland reborn, Marshal, Marshal
, here we come! "
The same composers also offer a song entitled" The France of tomorrow which incorporates in its last verse, the trilogy of the new regime, " work, family, country .
Resistance also had his songs. Some, like The International, were inherited from the traditions of struggle, while others were written at this time. Some opted for a serious tone encouraging the fight for freedom. Think, for example Singing
supporters of Druon and Kessel on music of Anna Marly : http://www.youtube.com/ watch? v = cwzFc5uKwiI
« Ami, entends-tu Le vol noir des corbeaux
Sur nos plaines?
Ami, entends-tu
Ces cris sourds du pays
Qu’on enchaîne?
Ohé! Partisans,
Ouvriers et paysans
C’est l’alarme.
Ce soir l’ennemi connaîtra
Le prix du sang
Et des larmes. »
« Maréchal, nous voilà ! » fut parodié, devenant " Maréchal, malgré toi " :
« Maréchal, nous voilà !
Malgré toi, nous sauverons la France,
Nous jurons qu'un beau jour
The enemy will leave forever
Marshal, here we come!
We have found hope,
Homeland reborn
Marshal, Marshal, in spite of yourself. "
