Canto General (1973)

Mikis Theodorakis (1925), Greece

Canto General is the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda's tenth book of poems which was begun to compose in 1938 and was first published in Mexico in 1950.
Mikis Theodorakis (θεοδωράκης μίκης) wrote the music for “Canto General” in Paris, where he lived after leaving Greece because of being arrested and exiled for his political activities against the dictatorship after the military coup in 1961. He composed an oratorio for two voices, mixed choir and orchestra in 7 movements. The first concert was to be held in the stadium of Santiago, Chile in September 1973. However, a few days before the concert the military junta under Pinochet overthrows and assassinates Allende and the concert was postponed indefinitely. A few days after the coup in Chile Neruda died from leukemia.
Two years later, After the fall of the Colonels in Greek the world premiere was held on August 13, 1975, at the Karaiskakis-Stadium, Pireus and on August 16, 1975, at the Panathinaikos-Stadium, Athens. With this Mikis Theodorakis celebrated a triumphal homecoming.
By 1981, Theodorakis had completed the oratorio to its now valid form in 13 movements. There are two recordings available of the complete opus (1981 conducted by Theodorakis as well, and 1989 conducted by Loukas Karytinos).
Theodorakis had made the promise, on hearing of Neruda's death, to play at least one part of the Canto General in each of his popular concerts until Chile's liberation from the dictatorship.
In 1993, Theodorakis could at last conduct his score in Chile and pay homage at the tomb of Neruda.

پابلو نرودا شاعر شیلیایی کتاب شعری دارد با نام
Canto General
حاوی اشعاری درباره‌ی مردم، طبیعت، قهرمانان و مبارزان قاره‌اش که کتاب مقدس امریکای لاتین لقب گرفته. میکیس تئودوراکیس آهنگساز یونانی هنگامی که به دلیل مبارزات خود علیه دیکتاتوری نظامی یونان به پاریس تبعید شده بود بر اساس اشعار این کتاب هفت قطعه‌ی موسیقی ساخت. او بنا داشت نخستین بار این کنسرت را با اجرای ماریا فارانتوری و پتروس پاندیس درسپتامبر 1973 در شیلی دوره‌ی ریاست جمهوری آلنده اجرا کند. ولی درست چند روز پیش از این اجرا، کودتای نظامی امریکایی ژنرال پینوشه دولت شیلی را سرنگون کرد. سالوادور آلنده کشته شد و کشور برای بیش از پانزده سال تحت حکومت خودکامه‌ی نظامیان قرار گرفت. پابلو نرودا کمتر از دو هفته پس از کودتا به دلیل سرطان خون درگذشت
دو سال بعد، پس از رهایی یونان از حکومت دیکتاتورها، تئودوراکیس به یونان بازگشت و این موسیقی را در استادیوم شهر آتن اجرا کرد
تئودوراکیس که هنگام شنیدن خبر مرگ پابلو نرودا با خود عهد بسته بود که قطعه‌ای از این موسیقی را بر مزار او اجرا کند، در سال 1993، وقتی که بساط خودکامگان شیلی هم جمع شده بود به آنجا رفت و به عهد خود وفا کرد

Il N'y A Pas D'amour Heureux (1953)

Georges Brassens (1921-1981), France

Il N'y A Pas D'amour Heureux is a poem of Luis Aragon. Georges Brassens sang it first in 1953. In the next year he put a poem of Francis Jammes on the same melody and composed another song: La prière. Both of these songs have been sung many times by various singers.
