LA COMPLAINTE DU PARTISAN:
La Complainte du partisan is a song written in London in 1943 by Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigeriea for the text and Anna Marly for the music. This song is broadcast for the first time on the waves of the BBC to occupied France and one of the discs is even destroyed by the German DCA during a parachute drop of resistance fighters. It became a popular song in the 1950s.
A partisan recalls, in the first person, episodes of his life ... Each verse narrates a different situation: life on the run, the loss of the family, that of comrades, the killing of an old man who hid partisans, up to the ending.
The last verse speaks of the oblivion that will weigh on the resistance fighters once they are dead, with the return of freedom and the passing of time: “We will be forgotten, we will return to the shadows”. The English translation sung later by Leonard Cohen will take the side of saying the opposite: "Freedom soon will come, then we'll come from the shadows": "then we will come out of the shadows". In France also the original lyrics are sometimes modified in the different arrangements and the various interpretations until today. For example, "the Germans" are sometimes replaced by the unnamed "enemy", or "the soldiers".
LES COMPAGNONS DE LA CHANSON:
They started as group known as the Compagnons de la Musique, a group of young people from the Compagnons de France. They became Compagnons de la Chanson in 1946, based on three tenors, three baritones and three basses.
In 1946 , they recorded with Édith Piaf the song Les Trois Cloches by Jean Villard (Gilles), which became an international success and revealed them to the general public Encouraged and supported by Édith Piaf, Les Compagnons de la chanson adopted a younger repertoire and went on tour in the United States . Upon their return to France, they met with prodigious success which enabled them to travel the world. Successes followed one another during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970.
From 1946 to 1956, they will most often sing in a purely a cappella chorister formula, or accompanied by a guitar or a piano. Gradually from 1957, they move on to a more substantial instrumental and orchestral accompaniment enriching the whole, instruments that they will often play themselves, also possessing talents as musicians, which will appear on the records that they will appear in the following years until their last concert in 1985, as well as in their shows.
Fred Mella will remain the main star soloist, often appearing in "relief" on the verses of each of their songs, with a timbre of voice with well-marked accents, the other eight companions being more in cohesion of accompaniment on several tonalities of voice, while the group singing the chorus together, constituting the “key” so characteristic of this formation.
In total, more than 350 titles are engraved, 50 remaining unreleased, and the group will have given approximately 300 concerts per year.
