![]() | Bella ciao Italian traditional Partisan song A very emotional song with a historical background: In 1943 Southern Italy surrendered to allied (i.e. US) troops in Sicily, which ended the fascist regime and WWII for Italians in the South. The Central and Northern parts of Italy, however, got occupied by Italian and German fascists / nazi troops. Resistance started mostly in the mountains of Central and Northern Italy around the fall of 1943: The partisans were normal, average people, men and women, who risked their lives and the lives of their families to free their country from the inhumane fascist regime. Many were shot, hanged or tortured to death. For one killed German soldier German SS troops would kill up to 100 Italian civilians. One case became particularly famous: A German officer ordered to lock all inhabitants of a small village, old men, women and children in a little chapel. The German troops threw hand grenades into the chapel and burned it. Being half German half Italian this history is particularly interesting and difficult for me. This is the partisans' sad and emotional song. Here is a rough translation: One morning, just risen from bed Oh Bella ciao ... (Goodbye, my beautiful) One morning, just risen from bed I discovered the invaders Oh partisan, carry me away Oh Bella ciao ... Oh partisan, carry me away For I feel I'm dying And if I die as a partisan Oh Bella ciao ... And if I die as a partisan You must burry me! Burry me way up in the mountains Oh Bella ciao ... Burry me way up in the mountains Under the shadow of a beautiful flower And the people passing by Oh Bella ciao ... And the people passing by Will tell "What a beautiful flower!" And that's the flower of the partisan Oh Bella ciao ... And that's the flower of the partisan Who died for freedom (liberty) Died for freedom Died for freedom! |

![]() | Ron Lindeman The Partisan visit: www.ronlindeman.com adapted music arrangement demo acoustic guitar & vocals Ron Lindeman music arrangement by Richard Poot of Pro Music Studio at Eemnes Holland (written by A.Marly/H.Zaret/Bernard)made famous by Leonard Cohen, 1969) My personal thoughts on making music: 1) Music to me is by definition emotions. A song is an island filled with deep emotions and feelings and a song must be able to touch the listener in the heart and soul. 2) I don't believe in simply copying the orginal. Try to change a song into your own version of it. For instance in the way you play an instrument and/or sing or change tempo or add different musical arrangements,etc. 3)I don't mind playing covers of songs. In the classical music world almost everything consists of covers. The musicpieces of composers are often centuries old.In popular music it's no problem playing songs written and recorded by others.Just add what is specifically your own. 4) Music is always subject to people's personal taste. Your background, culture, the country you live in, your environment, etc, are factors that may influence your musical taste. But all humans have emotions and feelings. With music you can touch someone in the heart and soul and arouse emotions and feelings. 5) pure technical skills don't necessarily mean that a music piece or song is conceived as beautiful. 6) it are the listeners that will judge your songs and music. Not you as the musician or other people in the music business. visit http://www.ronlindeman2.punt.nl |
