| 説明 | Now Pete Seeger is gone too at age 94. I was lucky to have seen him perform on more than one occasion: the last was on 10 June 2007 at the annual Clearwater celebration on the shore of the Hudson River in NY. I first saw him in the early 1960s as an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota shortly after the ban against him had been lifted (See below.). He performed in the student union to a packed hall and in no time had all of us on our feet singing along and holding hands with our neighbors. His audience contact was something to be experienced. I will post a few shots in his memory. Here is a video showing him at work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl-yszPdRTk The following is from a Youtube upload. Uploaded on Feb 18, 2008On July 26, 1956, the House of Representatives voted 373 to 9 to cite Pete Seeger and seven others (including playwright Arthur Miller) for contempt, as they failed to cooperate with House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in their attempts to investigate alleged subversives and communists. Pete Seeger testified before the HUAC in 1955.In one of Pete's darkest moments, when his personal freedom, his career, and his safety were in jeopardy, a flash of inspiration ignited this song. The song was stirred by a passage from Mikhail Sholokhov's novel "And Quie Flows the Don". Around the world the song traveled and in 1962 at a UNICEF concert in Germany, Marlene Dietrich, Academy Award-nominated German-born American actress, first performed the song in French, as "Qui peut dire ou vont les fleurs?" Shortly after she sang it in German. The song's impact in Germany just after WWII was shattering. It's universal message, "let there be peace in the world" did not get lost in its translation. To the contrary, the combination of the language, the setting, and the great lyrics has had a profound effect on people all around the world. May it have the same effect today and bring renewed awareness to all that hear it. |
