The Internationale Words by Eugene Pottier (1871) Music by Pierre Degeyter (1888) Piano Arrangement by Jerry Engelbach (2001) The Internationale Words by Eugene Pottier (1871) Music by Pierre Degeyter (1888) Piano Arrangement by Jerry Engelbach (2001) Degeyter’s original piano arrangement of The Internationale (if indeed it was by him) is harmonically tame, so I wrote this one for myself. I wanted to avoid the stodginess of other versions but keep a 19th-century classical feeling. Recordings on the Web tend to be didactic (a sin in a song about revolution) or (shudder) pseudo-folky. The best singing I have heard has been by Marxist groups at street rallies. You don’t see too many of these in the United States. The two versions in this file are in A Major and Bb Major. My chord symbols are the basic harmony and do not reflect all the changes in the arrangement. The lyrics I use are but one of many different versions available online. This is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. The original Finale 2002 files are on Coda Music’s Finale Showcase. Just input “The Internationale” in the Search box: http://www.codamusic.com/coda/fs_home.asp. The arrangement is not under copyright and may be freely distributed. The more people who know, sing, and play The Internationale, the better. You may give out my email address (below) and I will send the PDF file to anyone requesting it. You may reprint it, post it on a Web site, or perform it at Carnegie Hall. Being subject to ordinary human vanity, I ask that you give me credit.

    THE KEY TO DEMOCRATIC REFORM A Genuine Expression of OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS IS SIMPLICITY, VIABILITY AND LEGITIMACY the Will of the People: a viable method of “Following consultation, the government will introduce legislation democratic Lords reform to implement the second phase of the House of Lords reform.” With this single sentence in the 2001 Queen’s Speech, the Labour government gave notice that it was intent on Billy Bragg fulfilling it’s historic commitment to reform the House of Lords. The choice between a democratic second chamber or one which remains predominantly a house of patronage will have to be resolved. Whilst those in favour of the democratic option push for an elected house, supporters of an appointed chamber counter that it would not be sensible for the Commons to legislate so that the House of Lords became a rival chamber. Thus the debate becomes polarised. This pamphlet sets out the case for a viable democratic second chamber that does not challenge the primacy of the House of Commons. BILLY BRAGG is a lifelong supporter of the Labour Party. Songwriter and activist, he was a founder member of RED WEDGE. His recent UK tour was sponsored by the GMB. Born in Essex, he now lives with his family in West Dorset. During the last general election, he set up a tactical voting website which resulted in an end to the Conservative stranglehold in Dorset and the first Labour MP in the county for over 30 years.

  • Representation Through Music in a Non-Parliamentary Nation
    MEDIANZ ! VOL 15, NO 1 ! 2015 DOI: 10.11157/medianz-vol15iss1id8 - ARTICLE - Re-Establishing Britishness / Englishness: Representation Through Music in a non-Parliamentary Nation Robert Burns Abstract The absence of a contemporary English identity distinct from right wing political elements has reinforced negative and apathetic perceptions of English folk culture and tradition among populist media. Negative perceptions such as these have to some extent been countered by the emergence of a post–progressive rock–orientated English folk–protest style that has enabled new folk music fusions to establish themselves in a populist performance medium that attracts a new folk audience. In this way, English politicised folk music has facilitated an English cultural identity that is distinct from negative social and political connotations. A significant contemporary national identity for British folk music in general therefore can be found in contemporary English folk as it is presented in a homogenous mix of popular and world music styles, despite a struggle both for and against European identity as the United Kingdom debates ‘Brexit’, the current term for its possible departure from the EU. My mother was half English and I'm half English too I'm a great big bundle of culture tied up in the red, white and blue (Billy Bragg and the Blokes 2002). When the singer and songwriter, Billy Bragg wrote the above song, England, Half English, a friend asked him whether he was being ironic. He replied ‘Do you know what, I’m not’, a statement which shocked his friends. Bragg is a social commentator, political activist and staunch socialist who is proudly English and an outspoken anti–racist, which his opponents may see as arguably diametrically opposed combination.

  • Primer on the 1871 Paris Commune
    PRIMER ON THE 1871 PARIS COMMUNE ON ITS 150TH ANNIVERSARY By PRISM Editors 2ND ENGLISH EDITION Part I. Historical background This primer starts with major events that shook Europe in the 19th century and set the stage for the war that broke out between France and Germany in 1870—the Franco-Prussian War. This war directly resulted in the fall of Napoleon III and the Second French Empire, and the rise of the Third Republic— which in turn triggered a rapid chain of events leading to the Paris Commune of 1871. 1. What situation brought France and Germany to war in 1870? From the 16th to the 19th centuries, great bourgeois revolutions had been shaking the foundations of the feudal order in Europe and North America. They had paved the way for the capitalist-led industrialization of major cities and entire countries, the gradual rise of the modern proletariat from the mass of peasants and artisans, and resultant class struggles and crises. Many governments in Europe, however, repeatedly faltered in democratic reforms, slid back to autocracy, and retained feudal vestiges. In France, the revolution of 1789-1799 mobilized the masses of the people, especially the peasantry, to overthrow the feudal aristocracy and monarchy and to create the first French Republic. However, this first republic was cut short by Napoleon Bonaparte’s coup d’etat. He became dictator, at first as head of the Consulate (1799-1804), then as “Emperor of the French” under the First French Empire (1804- 1815). Napoleon I’s type of politics (popularly called Bonapartism) skillfully used the various class struggles in France to perpetuate his own dictatorial rule and dynasty while also building a military-bureaucratic caste that satisfied the class interests of the old and emergent elites.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] ‘Of, and not of, this place’: Attachment and detachment in Caryl Phillips’ A distant shore Abstract Interviewed about his novels in 2003, Caryl Phillips declared ‘These all seem to be the same book, part of a continuum’ (Morrison). Obviously, his seventh work of fiction, A Distant Shore (2003), does not disrupt this sense of great cohesion, also acknowledged by his commentators. Although the contemporary setting of A Distant Shore is unusual for a novelist who has occasionally been labelled a chronicler of the African Diaspora, this new book constitutes another memorable stage in Phillips’ subtle, yet dogged fictional exploration of the tension between attachment and detachment, between belonging and unbelonging that has been part of human life since the beginning of times, especially for the migrant. If this concern sticks to Phillips’ novels almost like a second skin, it is addressed more openly in his non- fiction, notably in his ecentr collection of essays A New World Order (2001).

This dissertation explores the musical relationship between these two troubled countries and aims to explain the similarities and differences in their approaches to collective singing. The discussion of the very complex and problematic relationship between the German left and the Soviet government sets the framework for the analysis of music. Beginning in late 1920s, as a result of Stalin’s abandonment of the international revolutionary cause, the divergences between the policies of the Soviet government and utopian aims of the German communist party can be traced in the musical propaganda of both countries.

  • Songs with a Global Conscience Using Songs to Build International Understanding and Solidarity
    Rethinking Schools Online - Teaching About the War Page 1 of 4 Songs with a Global Conscience Using songs to build international understanding and solidarity. By Bob Peterson Songs, like poetry, are powerful tools to build consciousness and solidarity. Every week we have a new "Song of the Week," and we begin every day by playing the song. I distribute the song's lyrics to the students, who keep them in their three-ring binders. The songs generally relate to topics we are studying. I allow students to bring in songs as well, although they must know the lyrics and have a positive reason for sharing the song with their classmates. When I introduce a song, I use our classroom map to go over the geographical connections. I also explain any difficult words. Finally, and most importantly, I give the social context. Depending on whether I use the song at the beginning of a unit of study or in the middle, the amount of "context setting" varies. Following is a list of songs that teachers and organizers might find useful as they teach for justice in an unjust world. THE COLONIAL PAST Ballad of the Soldier's Wife, lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, music by Kurt Weill, sung by PJ Harvey. (September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill CD, Sony Music, 1997). A telling tale of the human toll of foreign wars. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, written by Buffy Sainte-Marie, sung by the Indigo Girls. (1200 Curfews CD, Epic Records Group, 1995.)

    MarchNovember 2001 2001 Single Bill Appeared in – The Adelaide Review Billy Bragg with Dave Graney Show Norwood Concert Hall The prospect of The Dave Graney Show on the same card as Billy Bragg made this event doubly appealing. But I am sorry to report Mr Graney ‘s opening set is a disappointment. Perhaps he is diligently not wanting to steal the show. If so, I for one would not have been sorry if he’d taken that risk. Instead he’s looking uncertain and understaffed, even his raffish homburg, flared safari suit and spotted cravat have become tentative ironies. With partner Clare Moore ever inventive on drums and Adele Pickvance steady on bass, Graney now handles all the chores on guitar and the result is the kind of thin lounge sound that he has always carefully steered around. The newer material - numbers like Anchors Aweigh and Don’t Mess With the Blood have a croony but somewhat anaemic charm and Son of Maggie May makes us wonder whether the joke is really on Rod at all. Dave makes quite a few Lleyton Hewitt victory gestures but he is very far from pumped. His excellent Three Dead Passengers in a Second Hand Ford is edged out with an almost samba rhythm and a newer work, Leaving the Mount covers the same ground less crisply. I Held a Cool Breeze is closer to the gravy days, I try to imagine the Coral Snakes at his back in an arc of electric sound - it is a good song, like so many he has written.

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout.
