Revolutionary song
During the French Revolution notable songs, beyond "La Marseillaise", included "Chant du départ", "Carmagnole", "Ça Ira" (1790), "Allons Français au Champs de Mars" (1790), "L'aristocratie en déroute" (1790), "Aux bons citoyens" (1790), "Le bonnet de la liberté", and many more.The successful Greek War of Independence between 1821 and 1832, generated not only revolutionary songs in Greece, but wide artistic and musical support from other western nations.Many revolutionary songs appeared during the Spanish Civil War and subsequent social revolution, especially amongst members of the anarcho-syndicalist trade union, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo.In post-World War II Europe, revolutionary songs were taught in schools and sung at celebrations and official functions.[6] Composers during the struggle against the French include Đinh Nhu[7] then songwriters of Vietnamese popular music such as Văn Cao.Cuba's national anthem "La Bayamesa" ("El Himno de Bayamo") dates to 1868, but many new songs were generated by the revolution.An example of this type of song is a lullaby from Hungary (tentative translation follows), which starts off as a lullaby but shifts into more direct propaganda toward the end: The bunch of little bears happily sleepingAnd the pool sleeps on a soft pillowThe swing sleeps too, and the night will be their good blanketDream, my little one, soft dream fliesIt flies to your eyesBe silent, little babyOur dreams were hushed away by the grim despotismAnd only our hunger sung our song.
