A hint of civilization
When the song higher voice (1)
"All passions bring people together as the need to seek to live force to flee. It is neither hunger nor thirst, but love, hate, pity, anger that they have ripped the first vote. The fruit does point to steal our hands, we can eat them without speaking, is continued in silence for prey which one wants to feast, but to move a young heart, to repel an unjust aggressor nature dictates accents, cries and complaints: this is the oldest invented words and that is why the first languages were singing . Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Essay on the Origin of Languages)
There are songs for all tastes and all circumstances. They are part of our imagination and our emotional memory, family and society. Everything is song, love, revolution, religion and the aftermath. We sing while dancing, working and to give courage when you're in the dark.
In France, " all ends with songs " wrote Beaumarchais . It is true that the song, like almost everywhere, there is not a private matter, it also participates in the collective history, it is through making manifest the voice of the people when all other means of s express it closed.
In the Middle Ages, the use of the song are multiple and specific functions: the pace spiritual ceremonies, secular song accompanies the celebrations and meals as well as the motions of work. Until
mid-nineteenth century, the buskers have peddled the new form of laments.
In times of crisis, the song becomes a weapon against the holders of power: Mazarinades bloom by the hundreds in the Fronde, the songs express the aspirations of working people during street protests.
Even today, and fortunately, the song we sometimes offers a critical portrait of the news.
On this picture set to music of the society we're going to look today and the use we can do in our courses. The focus will be to extract the data that allow us to portray a historical period.
Note, however, that these texts are never impartial they are evidence, the cries of the heart, political messages. The teacher should therefore exercise great equidistance.
The vocabulary of these songs are mostly of a popular record, even abusive, it would be better to offer them to learners who have reached at least level B1.
A little history
The Mazarinades
" Whether singing, provided they pay! , "said Cardinal Mazarin in reference to singers of the Pont Neuf, who wrote some six thousand songs on it. This shows the unpopularity of the cardinal shared both
by the people, crushed by taxes of any kind, as by nobles who conspired against him in a court which convicted Sling into exile in the castle Saint-Germain.
" Villages, towns and villages,
The alarm bell should ring. Break all the passages
it had ordered!
Chorus
Should sound the tocsin
guin Din Din,
To hang Mazarin
This wicked full of contempt
A ruined without default
all ye people of the village, giving you
taxes. Our
France is ruined,
Is this cardinal
Abbreviate years
He is the author of evil. "

Anthem Rouget de Lisle was also placed at the service of all cases, with each time, words of circumstances.
La Marseillaise of the Commune (1871)
" Sing Freedom!
defend the city!
March, march!
Without sovereign
The people have bread! "
La Marseillaise of Peace (1892)
" More weapons, citizens!
Break your battalions!
Sing, sing
And peace
Fecund our furrows! "
anticlerical La Marseillaise (1881)
" citizens at the Polls!
Against clerical
Let us vote, vote
And our voices
disperse the crows! "
Among the huge amount of songs, marches and hymns that have emerged during the revolutionary period, live the sans-culottes , The guillotine permanent , Singing departure, The cap of liberty , Freedom of Negroes praised the abolition of slavery.
" Did you know, Republicans
What fate was the fate of the Negro,
That rank among humans
A wise decree reinstated.
He was a slave at birth,
Puni death by a single gesture,
was sold to her child,
Sugar was one of his blood
deign to spare me the rest. "

Under Napoleon first, the song was muzzled by censorship. If the songs to the glory of the Emperor
are many, those who oppose his regime are almost nonexistent.
It was not until the Russian campaign and its failure for the appearance of some protest songs. The Russian Campaign Napoleon manhandling the tune of " It was a little man . The conscript's departure, also called The conscript Languedo , expresses resistance to the conscription of soldiers increasingly young to cope with wars increasingly frequent. Draft evasion and extended refractory became numerous, especially
in remote countryside of Paris.
" I t'-a poor conscript
In the year one thousand eight hundred and ten,
Must leave Languedo
The Languedo the Languedo.
...
Farewell, dear parents
Remember your child
Crivi li occasionally,
Occasionally, from time to time
Crivi li occasionally,
To send him money. "

During the Restoration two authors were highly critical of the regime: Jean de Beranger and Emile Debraux . Both are Republicans and both know the prison because of their songs.
Beranger was considered the greatest poet of his time even by men of letters such as Victor Hugo.
One of his songs social The holy alliance of peoples , is a call to universal brotherhood:
" down I saw peace on earth, Spreading
gold, flowers and ears.
The air was calm, and the god of war
She stifled wrath asleep.
"Ah! she said, with equal valor,
English, French, Belgian, Russian or Germain
Peoples, form a holy alliance
And give your hand .
Under the Restoration, the popularity of rival Emile Beranger is Debraux (1798-1831). His songs made him know the democratic prison. Press freedom shows the limits of liberalism
of Louis XVIII.
"Provided that n'dise
contr'l'Eglise
Nothing against the King, against the rulers;
that you can without looking piece
Speak, write at will, And
viv'la freedom,
Freedom of the press. "
The revolution of 1848 caused an outbreak of songs that will last the duration of the Republic.
The beginning of the revolution is sung by Charles Gille , which is on the barricades.
" Blood is still wet
On the old royal mantle,
That green foliage decorates
A triumphal monument,
The great city has avenged
half a century of insults. "
Between 23 and 26 June, the Army and National Guard crushed the Paris proletariat. It is estimated that there were 1 500 15 000 shot and imprisoned, many of which were transported Algeria.
December 10, following a demagogic campaign, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, nephew of Napoleon 1st, was elected president with more than 5.4 million votes. Another poet
worker Gustave Leroy, (1818-1860) will build a news story to compose
The ball and the guillotine, the president has the ball at the Elysee while you prepare the execution of two rebels in June.
"What brilliant ball, how dismal scene! Contrast
awful, laughter and pain ...
The Chairman opened the show ... what a bargain,
Patients saw the executioner!
The knife falls ... he separates, he dismisses
Chief trunk ... the blood spurted all black!
And just stain the front Bonaparte ... At the Elysee
be dancing tonight! "
Jean-Baptiste Clément (1836-1903) published his first songs in 1859.
In 1867, Clement moved to Brussels in search of better economic situation. He met the singer and musician Anthony Fox who came to his aid. The poet gave him a gift of two romances which The cherry season that Fox set to music.
Clement not only sings the "Bloody Week " but simply the spring and heartbreak.
The political commitment of Clement in 1868, when he started in journalism opposition, which earned him three years in prison. He graduated in the fall of the empire and takes an active part in the Commune. Forced into exile, he published from England bloody week, Invasion , Volunteers ...

"Unless spies and gendarmes
You do not see the roads
That sad old men in tears,

Paris oozes poverty, are happy even
The trembling
Fashion is the Military
And the pavements are all bloody. "

Eugène Pottier (1816-1887) has attended school only until age 12. He published, however, in 1831 his first collection of poems, The young Muse, dedicated to Beranger.
April 16 1871 he was elected member of the Paris Commune and mayor of the second district. After the failure, he must flee to England, and eventually into exile in the United States where he remained until 1880.
Arguably the most famous work of Pottier The International eventually forget its author.
" Arise, wretched of the earth
Arise, convicts of hunger
Reason thunders in its crater, the eruption is
