"Brothers of Italy" is only bad
And if "Brothers of Italy" was just a bad song? And if all these controversies that involve has always depended on the fact that he can not appeal to almost anyone?
There are areas in which critical thinking gives way to the naive conventions are rules, at least, do-gooders.
've heard many times is the loving tenderness of parents toward their children such as "nice daddy", "beautiful mother" and noting that, as the popular saying, "every Snout is beautiful 'Mom soja. Often those cute kids have nothing of the stereotype of the baby from commercial, in fact, quite the contrary. The rule "gold standard" (hypocrite) has it that "all children are beautiful." But those who have eyes to see, often must make an effort of imagination (and / or hypocrisy) and look forward to. How many "ugly ducklings" have become, after the age of development, handsome young men?
may not have enough 53 years (namely from 12 October 1946, the year of "provisional adoption" of the hymn) discussed the "Brothers of Italy" to blossom and become an influential piece, fascinating, and nicely representative recognizable? Apparently not.
Written 99 years before being "provisionally adopted" by Goffredo Mameli for the text and the music by Michele Novaro, "The Song of the Italians" (this is the official title) has enjoyed a remarkable expansion in areas of purely political. Wanting to make a comparison with what is happening today with some pop songs that use significant promotional push and achieve success at the expense of other, more deserving, but without an expensive and aggressive promotional plan, the Inno di Mameli was proposed to right time, in the areas that mattered to the story. Needless to complain about lack of proper musical analysis of the leading figures of our Risorgimento, dutifully focused on vital issues such as "here is Italy or die." Never mind that the anthem of those deeds were low-level aesthetic, formal, melodic and structural. What they had, worked for the purpose for its tone and the Republicans clearly sang. Yet the master
Novaro has lived in a period in which resounded the great insights of Giuseppe Verdi, Gioacchino Rossini, Gaetano Donizetti, Vincenzo Bellini, without taking into account the thunderous echoes coming from the adjoining France through the compositions of Charles Gounod, Georges Jules Massenet and Bizet. Possible that Novaro, second tenor and chorus master of the Teatro Regio in Turin and Carignan founder of the People's Choir School in Genoa, failed to even remotely grasp the lessons of its most high-ranking colleagues? After all the lean curriculum of the composer of the Hymn of Mameli does not help the defense of his (single) work more popular. What is certain is that any musician would have been difficult music for the opera Mameli, moreover, in a short time, one month after the hymn was to be executed on the forecourt of the Shrine of Oregina and presented to the citizens of Genoa and some Italian patriots in the centenary the expulsion of the Austrians, played on that occasion by the municipal band of Sestri Ponente "Casimiro Corradi (it was December 10, 1947). We must take note that "Brothers of Italy" makes use of a composition technically square, shows a weak melody and rhythm is massacred by a scan that annihilates any ambition aims to give authoritative suggestions. The great pop artist Andy Wharoll said that everyone, sooner or later in life, have their 15 minutes of fame. Novaro if they have bought up, undeservedly, to the detriment of too many a multitude of people remained without even a minute or two of glory. Life is unfair. It is well known.
criticized the music, but also the text is no exception. Wikipedia online encyclopedia read: Goffredo Mameli, the name by which it is best known Gotifreddo Mameli Mannelli (Genoa, September 5, 1827 - Rome, July 7, 1849) was a poet, Italian patriot and writer.
The role of the patriot is entirely due. In the light of his frenetic activity that has seen some fundamental character Mameli scenarios Risorgimento struggle and his death
following a wound infection that he acquired during the second defense of the Roman Republic. A bayonet friend accidentally hit him in the leg.
counted as a poet and writer strikes us as a benevolent forcing, since 22 years of life are just a few to become a hero, a great composer of lyric verse and an influential writer. After all, the young Geoffrey was unable (for lack time, we believe) to let pages fundamental to our large national literature, if we exclude the five stanzas of "The Song of the Italians." And here is the obligatory question: can that in 53 years of "interim adoption" we can not store the five stanzas in our anthem?
is a miracle when you can sing the first verse together. By the second chorus of Slim 70/80 per cent. The third, fourth and fifth verses are there, but nobody remembers them. It is hard even to read them, and they sound so stately, distant, pompous, a little poetic and exaggerated.
The root node and "Let us join," that the spell- Computer points in red, repeated five times and that makes "Gather 'a bit more bearable because it appears, thankfully, only once.
Mass so the question "anthem of Italy" makes us think we could be a bit 'lucky ones and that prisoners be an honest and obscure music teacher and a young patriot with the hobby of writing is a real injustice. We need a reason and stifle farcene latent envy when we hear the hymns of other countries. Let us not fall into the trap of comparison with the anthem of Great Britain, France, Germany, the United States or Brazil. And ripetiamoci "is any Snout beautiful 'Mom soja.
is certain is that if you use the status of "temporary nature" of our anthem, very ugly, we could find a solution. And then "Let us join" together to find a more beautiful song, with its melody that makes us take the hand on heart, that his text will bring us together even more and that "Gather" in our beloved tricolor.
