Ritmo delle scolte modenesi [O tu qui servas armis ista moenia]

Ritmo delle scolte modenesi [O tu qui servas armis ista moenia]
Un'interpretazione moderna del Ritmo delle scolte modenesi

O Tu Qui Servas

The "Song of the Watchmen of Modena," 9th century Latin poem.


Nota. Video reperito su YouTube ad opera di "StrudelMan". Interessante resa con musica (campionatura?) "ad hoc" e testo completo, ma senza interpolazioni.

Lassù in cima al monte nero (Caramba)

anonyme
Credevo fosse una canzone allegra, e credevo che il brigante che resta muto avesse qualcosa da nascondere, invece - poveretto - era solo triste. Peccato.

Un vessillo

anonyme
Canzone che veniva cantata la mattina all'alza bandiera dai componenti della Divisione d'Assalto "Garibaldi-Natisone". Per testimonianza diretta del partigano Walter Zorzenone "Vipera" già componente della stessa Divisione, gli stessi partigiani la chiamavano scherzosamente "il caffè" in quanto era in qualche modo sostitutivo della bevanda logicamente non disponibile (Luciano Marcolini Provenza , segretario ANPI di Cividale del Friuli)

I Am Sold and Going to Georgia

anonyme
Library of Congress, Archive of AmericanFolk Song, WPA Collection.
American Folksongs of Protest by John Greenway
Philadelphia University Pennsylvania Press 1953
p. 95-96

This song is usually sung by the chained gangs of slaves who are on their way, being driven from Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky, to the more southern states for sale. The last line of each verse is the chorus, and gives a most impressive effect when sung—as it often is— by 60 or 150 voices echoing the plaintive grief of their hearts. This last line is intended as an appeal to all who have it in their power to aid in bringing about the jubilee of emancipation. -J. W. C. Pennington, D.D. Despite Dr. Pennington's contemporary affidavit that this is a Negro song, most observers will agree that its white origin is transparent; but it is worth including, if only for Dr. Pennington's intriguing phrase, "sung ... by 60 or 150 voices."
O! When shall we poor souls be free?

Vorrei segnalare un errore… “friscura” non sono le frasche ma è una zona all’ombra dove appunto ci si mette a riposare in campagna, riparati dal sole… può essere l’ombra di un albero ad esempio. Quindi sarebbe più giusto tradurre “sta dormendo all’ombra”
(Pamela Sagoleo)

Grazie Pamela per la segnalazione. Provvederemo a correggere le traduzioni. Un saluto e torna a trovarci! [Riccardo Venturi]

Pick a Bale of Cotton

Pick a Bale of Cotton
Pickin' Cotton All Day Long (Traditional)

Testo e nota da Azizi Powell.

This comedic song is about a preacher (minister) visiting people on Sunday (when it was common to have fried chicken for dinner.) The "pickin cotton all day long" chorus doesn't have anything to do with the preacher and chicken verses.

Let Your Hammer Ring

anonyme
Let Your Hammer Ring
PRISON WORKSONGS
Recorded by Dr. Harry Oster at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, La. and other locations, mostly in 1959

Let Your Hammer Ring,
Big Louisiana, lead; Willy Rafus, and Arthur Davis.

Originally this song accompanied the driving of spikes into the wooden ties which held railroad tracks in place. The basic tool was a ten-pound hammer with two heads, hardly more than two inches in diameter. The steel-driving man swung freely in a complete circle about his head, then brought the hammer unerringly down on the spike. Since the railroad's disappearance at Angola, the same song has often been sung, as it is here, to facilitate wood-chopping. Unlike many of the group worksongs, "Let Your Hammer Ring" has artistic unity. The subject in this magnificent song swings naturally from the ring of the hammer to ringing a plea to the governor for pardon; the desire for a pardon... (continuer)

Lonely Banna Strand (the Ballad of Roger Casement)

anonyme
Lonely Banna Strand (the Ballad of Roger Casement)
"Roger David Casement (1864 – 1916) was a humanitarian campaigner and an Irish patriot, poet, revolutionary, and nationalist. He was a British consul, famous for his reports and activities against human rights abuses in the Congo and Peru and also for his dealings with Germany before Ireland’s Easter Rising in 1916. An Irish nationalist and Parnellite in his youth, he worked in Africa for commercial interests and later in the service of Britain. However, the Boer War and his consular investigation into atrocities in the Congo led Casement to anti-Imperialist and, ultimately, to Irish Republican and separatist political opinions. He sought to obtain German support for a rebellion in Ireland against British rule. Shortly before the Easter Rising, he landed in Ireland and was arrested. He was subsequently convicted and executed by the British for treason. His remains were buried in the yard... (continuer)

O Gorizia, tu sei maledetta

O Gorizia, tu sei maledetta
GORIZIA - Traindeville



“Le canzoni si nutrono del sangue della Storia. La Storia si nutre del sangue degli uomini. Gli uomini si nutrono del sangue delle canzoni. Questa canzone, si dice che i fanti che erano sorpresi a cantarla durante la prima guerra mondiale venivano passati per le armi. Questa canzone causò una rissa al Festival di Spoleto negli anni sessanta. Questa canzone continua ad essere cantata, a piacere e a piacerci. E continua a dispiacere a qualcuno”, così il cantautore genovese Max Manfredi a proposito di “Gorizia”, celebre canzone della tradizione anarchica e antimilitarista che la band romana Traindeville ha reinterpretato con lui in un intenso videoclip, girato in un bianco e nero spettrale dalle sapienti cineprese del collettivo Todomodo, documentaristi da sempre impegnati nel campo della Memoria.

In un momento storico in cui parlare di pace o anche solo di cessate... (continuer)
