| | |  This is a popular song from Burgundy (Santenay, 17th and 18th centuries). Maurice Emmanuel noted it under the title “Guillenlé, bia Guillenlé.” Lyrics are in patois, but there is also their modern French translation. The C modal melody is entirely contained in fifth mode. It was found in Santenay, a small village in south-west of Beaune. This song was sung every New Year’s Eve at doorsteps. “Guillenlé” probably comes from “Gui l’an neuf” (Gui new year) found in many provinces. Saint Batholmé is Saint Barthélémy, healer of every disease. The meaning of the last part of the song seems to be: we will waste charity as often as there will be leaves on bulrush, that is to say never. Every choir can perform this song. |

Habanera is a binary Cuban dance which became famous in Europe by the end of the 19th century. This genre was created by Ignacio Cervantes. Many composers such as Isaac Albéniz, Manuel de Falla, Emmanuel Chabrier, Camille Saint-Saëns, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel were inspired by metrics. This habanera was in fact Sebastián Iradier’s in El arreglito. He was a Spanish composer and singing teacher of Eugénie de Montijo. |
