after that is several minutes of the battle scenes at Agincourt. Not the most accurate battle scenes, of course, but the importance of the famed English longbow to the eventual victory is given proper emphasis.
Fine music by William Walton.
Laurence Olivier ... King Henry V
Gerald Case ... Earl of Westmoreland
Griffith Jones ... Earl of Salisbury
Ralph Truman ... Mountjoy
From the film "The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France" (1944)
directed by Lord Olivier
James Agee on Olivier's "Henry V":
...Olivier does many other beautiful pieces of reading and playing. His blood-raising reply to the French Herald's ultimatum is not just that; it is a frank, bright exploitation of the moment for English ears, amusedly and desperately honored as such, in a still gallant and friendly way, by both Herald and King. His Crispin's Day oration is not just a brilliant bugle-blat; it is the calculated yet self-exceeding improvisation, at once self-enjoying and selfless, of a young and sleepless leader, rising to a situtation wholly dangerous and glamorous, and wholly new to him. Only one of the many beauties of the speech as he gives it is the way in which the King seems now to exploit his sincerity, no to be possessed by it, riding like an unexpectedly mounting wave the astounding size of his sudden proud awareness of the country morning, of his moment in history, of his responsibilty and competence, of being full-bloodedly alive, and of being about to die.

Here are the songs of that broadcast. The song To Yelasto Pedi (The Jovial Boy) from the cycle The Hostage (Brendan Behan) sung by Maria Farantouri. Also known as the theme of the film Z about the murder of Lambrakis Here the lyrics in english and greek with thanks to 913Tripolis44 THE LAUGHING BOY Anglicized Version It was on an August morning, all in the moring hours, I went to take the warming air all in the month of flowers, And there I saw a maiden and heard her mournful cry, Oh, what will mend my broken heart, I've lost my Laughing Boy. So strong, so wide, so brave he was, I'll mourn his loss too sore When thinking that we'll hear the laugh or springing step no more. Ah, curse the time, and sad the loss my heart to crucify, Than an Irish son, with a rebel gun, shot down my Laughing Boy. Oh, had he died by Pearse's side, or in the G.P.O., Killed by an English bullet from the rifle of the foe, Or forcibly fed while Ashe lay dead in the dungeons of Mountjoy, I'd have cried with pride at the way he died, my own dear Laughing Boy. My princely love, can ageless love do more than tell to you Go raibh mile maith Agath, for all you tried to do, For all you did and would have done, my enemies to destroy, I'll prize your name and guard your fame, my own dear Laughing Boy. The Laughing Boy by Brendan Behan Original Version T'was on an August morning, all in the dawning hours, I went to take the warming air, all in the Mouth of Flowers, And there I saw a maiden, and mournful was her cry, 'Ah what will mend my broken heart, I've lost my Laughing Boy. So strong, so wild and brave he was, I'll mourn his loss too sore, When thinking that I'll hear the laugh or spinging step no more. Ah, cure the times and sad the loss my heart to crucify, That an irish son with a rebel gun shot down my Laughing Boy. Oh had he died by Pearse's side or in the GPO, Killed by an English bullet from the rifle of the foe, Or forcibly fed with Ashe lay dead in the dungeons of Mountjoy, I'd have cried with pride for the way he died, my own dear Laughing Boy. My princely love, can ageless love do more than tell to you, Go raibh maith agat for all you tried to do, For all you did, and would have done, my enemies to destroy, I'll mourn your name and praise your fame, forever, my Laughing Boy. Glossary: Mouth of Flowers is a translation of the townland Beal na Blath, where Michael Collins was ambushed and shot. Padraig Pearse was one of the leader's of the 1916 Rising. GPO was one of the buildings the Volunteers occupied in 1916. Ashe was a Sinn Fein member who died on hunger strike. Go raibh maith agat is Irish for 'Thank You'. ΤΟ ΓΕΛΑΣΤΟ ΠΑΙΔΙ Συθέτης - Μίκης Θεοδωράκης Στιχουργός - Μπρένταν Μπήαν(Brendan Behan) Μετάφραση -- Βασίλης Ρώτας Ήταν πρωί τ' Αυγούστου κοντά στη ροδαυγή, Βγήκα να πάρω αγέρα στην ανθισμένη γή. Βλέπω μια κόρη σπαραχτικά θρηνεί, Σπάσε καρδιά μου εχάθει το γελαστό παιδί. Είχεν αντριά και θάρος κι αιωνια θα θρηνώ, Το πηδηχτο του βήμα το γέλιο το ηλυκό. Ανάθεμα την ώρα κατάρα τη στηγμή, Σκοτώσαν οι εχθροί μας το γελαστό παιδί. Ώ, να 'ταν σκοτωμένο στου αρχιγού το πλάϊ , Και μόνον από βόλι Εγγλέζου να 'χέ πάει. Κι απ' απεργία πείνας μέσα στή φυλακή, Θά 'ταν τιμή μου πού χασα το γελαστό παιδί. Βασιλικιά μου αγάπη μ' αγάπη θα στο λέω, Γιά το οτι έκανες αιώνια θά σέ κλαίω. Γιατί όλους τους εχθρούς μας θά ξέκάνες εσύ, Δόξα τιμή στ' αξέχαστο, το γελαστό παιδί. (Less) Channel: youtube

Description: Dear Governor Schwarzenegger - As an American and as a parent, I believe government should not interfere with individual choices. My personal beliefs are echoed in the California Republican Party (More) Dear Governor Schwarzenegger - As an American and as a parent, I believe government should not interfere with individual choices. My personal beliefs are echoed in the California Republican Party Platform, which says: "As Republicans, we believe the home should remain the central place for individual decision-making, and issues impacting the family should not be handed over to intrusive government bureaucrats. ... [P]arents are most capable of making decisions for and about their children ... the CRP opposes any effort to weaken parents' freedom of decision and choice." Imagine my surprise when I found a list of lawmakers -- Republicans all -- who have taken a different vow, by supporting the Protect Marriage campaign "in defense of marriage." This heartless master says: "We oppose granting to homosexuals special privileges, including marriage, domestic partnership benefits, and child custody or adoption." As a homosexual American and proud parent, let me be clear: such an initiative does not just merely subvert my individual decision-making, but sets out to deliberately destroy my family outright. You know these people, Governor. They are your colleagues and friends. Yet they have compromised their party and their conscience to pursue a path which is reprehensible. I don't want you to ask them to abandon their beliefs: I want you to ask them to choose which belief they really support: their belief that gay people should be excluded from our economy and society, or that all individuals should have the same freedom of personal choice, especially in who they marry.

Description: I joined the Flying Column in 1916

Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
(More) I joined the Flying Column in 1916
In Cork with Seán Moylan, Tipperary with Dan Breen
Arrested by Free Staters and sentenced for to die
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
We crossed pleasant valleys and over the hilltops green
Where we met with Dinny Lacey, Seán Hogan and Dan Breen
Seán Moylan and his gallant band they kept the flag flying high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
We crossed the Dublin mountains we were rebels on the run
Though hunted night and morning we were outlawed but free men
We tracked the Wicklow mountains as the sun was shining high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
I'm bidding farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
And to the Galtee mountains that oft times sheltered me
To the men who fought for liberty and died without a sigh
May the cause be ne'er forgotten said the Galtee Mountain Boy
IrishHistory1952 wrote of this song...
Surely the "historical" references are less important than the song as "generic". "Down the glen rode Sarsfields Men and they wore the Jackets GREEN"......well actually they had RED uniforms. "Clares Dragoons" ...."for Spanish STEED and sabre bright".......but it was an INFANTRY regiment.
... in towering crag our fathers fought before us and "conquered neath the same old flag thats proudly fluttering oer us"......er where was this historic crag exactly?
This is symbolism obviously. All nation building requires a little symbolism. Surely that's the point - not 26 county revisionism.
adapted from... www.triskelle.eu/lyrics/galtee
Some onfusion.
Firstly there is the claim of the main character that he joined the Flying Column in 1916. This is not possible because the concept of flying columns did not materialise before 1917.
Beside this historical imperfection, the story line is a bit surprising. This is caused by the fourth verse which was added by Christy Moore long after Patsy Halloran had written the first three verses. A puzzling intervention because this additional verse adds nothing to the song, other than its further politisation (and some that Christy Moore extended the song solely for the purpose of creating a standard four minute track).
The last confusing bit is that the song seems to refer to a real person. In our guest book you can find an entry of someone claiming that his uncle was the Galtee Mountain Boy. Obviously we immediately requested him to sent more information, but unfortunately the email address provided was fake. It is commonly accepted though that the Galtee Mountain Boy is a fictitious character.
The Galtee Mountain Boy might be an imaginary character, the men mentioned in the song are definitely not fictitious. All of them were well-known members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the Tipperary - Cork area during the War of Independence and the Civil War.
Seán Hogan and Dan Breen were part of the group which seized a cart load of gelignite, or gelly, and detonators near Soloheadbeg in County Tipperary on 21 January 1919. Two officers of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) got killed in what is known as the Soloheadbeg Ambush. The ambush at Soloheadbeg marked the beginning of the War of Independence. After the ambush Seán Hogan and Dan Breen were on the run.
Hogan was arrested in May 1919, but freed near Knocklong by members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), among which Dan Breen, when he was transported from Thurles to stand trail in Cork. In June 1921, only a few weeks before the end of the War of Independence, Ned Foley and Patrick Maher were executed for the killing of two police escorts during the Knocklong Rescue. Seán Hogan, who was wounded during his escape, recovered and fought in the Civil War against the Free Staters.
Dan Breen managed to avoid being arrested, although once he sustained 22 bullet wounds in a shootout with the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). Like Seán Hogan Breen opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and fought in the Irish Republican Army (IRA). He was arrested by Free Staters during the Civil War and imprisoned in Mountjoy Prison, from which he was released after a hunger and thirst strike. After the Civil War Dan Breen went into politics until his retirement in 1965.
Dinny Lacey was commander of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the south of County Tipperary and was killed in an ambush by members of the Free State Army on 18 February 1923.
And, last but not least, Seán Moylan was leader of the North Cork Brigade of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). After the Civil War Seán Moylan was actively involved in the founding of Fianna Fáil. One of Moylan's greatest political achievements was that he persuaded the anti-Treaty side in the Republic of Ireland to put down the weapons and to enter politics.
