History of Sacco & Vanzetti (souce Wikipedia) "Here's to You" is a song by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez, released in 1971 as part of the soundtrack of the film Sacco & Vanzetti, directed by Giuliano Montaldo. The song was written by Baez and Morricone themselves. The lyrics are only 4 lines of text, sung over and over. Background The song is a tribute to two anarchists of Italian origin, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti who were sentenced to death by a United States court in the 1920s. The consensus of critical opinion has concluded since that the ruling was based on abhorrence of their anarchist political beliefs rather than on any proof that they committed the robbery and murders of which they were accused.[1][2] Despite the weaknesses of the jury's decision, correspondence by the novelist Upton Sinclair to his lawyer John Beardsley (penned in 1929 and unearthed in 2005) corroborated the guilty verdict against Sacco and Vanzetti in the murder of a payroll clerk and his guard. Sinclair told Beardsley that he had met with Sacco and Vanzetti's defense attorney, Fred Moore, and Moore informed the famous author that his clients were guilty as charged.[3] Moreover, several forensic experts agreed that Sacco fired a shot from his Colt pistol at the scene of the crime.[4][5] Thus, "Here's to You" contributes to the popular but questionable notion of the pair's innocence in the face of a supposedly bigoted American public.[6] The case is known as the Sacco and Vanzetti Affair. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here%27...) The lyrics for Here's to You make use of a statement attributed to Vanzetti by Philip D. Strong, a reporter for the North American Newspaper Alliance who visited him in prison in May 1927, three months before his execution. If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life we could have hoped to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as we now do by accident. Our words—our lives—our pains—nothing! The taking of our lives—lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler—all! That last moment belongs to us—that agony is our triumph. Here's to you est une chanson de Joan Baez et Ennio Morricone, parue en 1971 dans la bande originale du film Sacco et Vanzetti (Sacco e Vanzetti) de Giuliano Montaldo. Contexte Cette chanson est un hommage aux deux anarchistes d'origine italienne Nicola Sacco et Bartolomeo Vanzetti qui furent victimes d'un scandale judiciaire survenu dans les années 1920 aux États-Unis et connu sous le nom d'affaire Sacco et Vanzetti. Elles sont inspirées par les mots de Bartolomeo Vanzetti au juge Thayer : « Si cette chose n'était pas arrivée, j'aurais passé toute ma vie à parler au coin des rues à des hommes méprisants. J'aurais pu mourir inconnu, ignoré : un raté. Ceci est notre carrière et notre triomphe. Jamais, dans toute notre vie, nous n'aurions pu espérer faire pour la tolérance, pour la justice, pour la compréhension mutuelle des hommes, ce que nous faisons aujourd’hui par hasard. Nos paroles, nos vies, nos souffrances ne sont rien. Mais qu’on nous prenne nos vies, vies d'un bon cordonnier et d'un pauvre vendeur de poissons, c'est cela qui est tout ! Ce dernier moment est le nôtre. Cette agonie est notre triomphe. La musique est d'Ennio Morricone, compositeur de nombreuses musiques de films. La structure du morceau est simplement constituée d'une phrase musicale répétée dix fois dans la version la plus classique. Les deux premières fois sans paroles et la dernière fois en crescendo. La voix de Joan Baez pour la chanson, ainsi que pour les trois thèmes qui composent La Ballata di Sacco e Vanzetti (toujours sur des paroles de la chanteuse d'après des lettres de Bartolomeo Vanzetti), est enregistrée le 15 août 19701. Aux États-unis, cette chanson est devenue un hymne du mouvement pour les droits civiques des années 1970. En Europe, c'est toute une génération qui danse sur Here’s to You à l'été 1971. Ennio Morricone recevra un Nastro d'Argento en 1971 pour l'ensemble de sa musique pour Sacco e Vanzetti.
