Comment | Though never mentioned by name, it is likely that this song was performed fairly frequently by Chantereau; several accounts in the 1920s imply that he sang his own compositions, and this appears to have been among his favorites. |
Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | This forceful march song ("Allegro marziale") falls into three sections: the first half of the verse presents a stepwise diatonic melody over a drumbeat ostinato pedal-point; the second half of the verse quotes La Marseillaise, America, and possibly the Star-spangled Banner; the refrain ("con spirito") introduces passing chromaticism, driven by a strong walking bass. |
