C'est Noël
"C'est Noël" is a French popular song composed in 1956 by Henri Betti with the lyrics by Jean Manse. Story In 1956, Henri Betti composed the music for the film ''Honoré de Marseille'' in which he also composed the music of four songs with lyrics by Jean Manse, all of which are performed by Fernandel. ''C'est Noël'' was one of the four songs that Fernandel sings in the film but the scene was cut at the editing. So it appears only in the record released the same year with the other three songs of the film (''Tout ça c'est Marseille'', ''Quel plaisir ! Quel travail !'' and ''Oh ! Honoré'') all orchestrated by Paul Bonneau. The melody of this song was written by Henri Betti when he became father of a girl in 1950. The scene where Fernandel sang this song was in a Christmas night decor where Claire Diamant, who played the role of his niece Josette, was sitting on her lap. The actress was six years old at the time of filming, which was the same age of Henri Betti's daughter. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fernandel
Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin (8 May 1903 – 26 February 1971), better known as Fernandel, was a French actor and singer. Born near Marseille, France, to Désirée Bedouin and Denis Contandin, originating in Perosa Argentina, an Occitan town located in the province of Turin, Italy. He was a comedy star who first gained popularity in French vaudeville, operettas, and music-hall revues. His stage name originated from his marriage to Henriette Manse, the sister of his best friend and frequent cinematic collaborator Jean Manse. So attentive was he to his wife that his mother-in-law amusingly referred to him as ''Fernand d'elle'' ("Fernand of her"). Biography In 1930, Fernandel appeared in his first motion picture and for more than forty years he would be France's top comic actor. He was perhaps best loved for his portrayal of the irascible Italian village priest at war with the town's Communist mayor in the '' Don Camillo'' series of motion pictures. His horse-like teeth ...

His first film appearance was in the musical '' Quand le cœur chante'' (1938). He also appeared many times at the Théâtre du Châtelet and in numerous ...

Songs With Music By Henri Betti
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...

French Songs
A (, , french: chanson française, link=no, ; ) is generally any lyric-driven French song, though it most often refers to the secular polyphonic French songs of late medieval and Renaissance music. The genre had origins in the monophonic songs of troubadours and trouvères, though the only polyphonic precedents were 16 works by Adam de la Halle and one by Jehan de Lescurel. Not until the '' ars nova'' composer Guillaume de Machaut did any composer write a significant number of polyphonic chansons. A broad term, the word "chanson" literally means "song" in French and can thus less commonly refers to a variety of (usually secular) French genres throughout history. This includes the songs of chansonnier, ''chanson de geste'' and Grand chant; court songs of the late Renaissance and early Baroque music periods, '' air de cour''; popular songs from the 17th to 19th century, '' bergerette'', ''brunette'', '' chanson pour boire'', ''pastourelle'', and vaudeville; art song of the r ...

Christmas Carol
A Christmas carol is a carol (a song or hymn) on the theme of Christmas, traditionally sung at Christmas itself or during the surrounding Christmas holiday season. The term noel has sometimes been used, especially for carols of French origin. Christmas carols may be regarded as a subset of the broader category of Christmas music. History The first known Christmas hymns may be traced to 4th-century Rome. Latin hymns such as Veni redemptor gentium, written by Ambrose, Archbishop of Milan, were austere statements of the theological doctrine of the Incarnation in opposition to Arianism. Corde natus ex Parentis ('' Of the Father's heart begotten'') by the Spanish poet Prudentius (d. 413) is still sung in some churches today. In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Christmas sequence (or prose) was introduced in Northern European monasteries, developing under Bernard of Clairvaux into a sequence of rhymed stanzas. In the 12th century the Parisian monk Adam of Saint Victor be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
