Cézembre / Collection of songs for Cézembre
April 10, 2024, 10:09:08 PM
While Barclamïu is working on an anthem, and I have noodled around on a fanfare, perhaps it would also be good to make a collection of Brittany songs.

I found this version appealing by Nolwenn Leroy (album Bretonne, 2010)

Tri Martolod ("Three sailors" in Breton) or Tri Martolod Yaouank ("Three young sailors"), is a traditional Breton song which dates to the 18th century in Lower Brittany.  The lyrics tell the story of three young sailors who embark for Newfoundland and the history quickly settles into a romantic dialogue. The music is a round in three steps typical of the South Cornouaille and common in the Breton coastal areas.


Breton
Tri martolod yaouank... la la la... Tri martolod yaouank i vonet da veajiñ

E vonet da veajiñ, gê! E vonet da veajiñ

Gant 'n avel bet kaset... la la la... Gant 'n avel bet kaset betek an Douar Nevez

Beteg an Douar Nevez, gê! Beteg an Douar Nevez

E-kichen mein ar veilh... la la la... E-kichen mein ar veilh o deus mouilhet o eorioù

O deus mouilhet o eorioù, gê! O deus mouilhet o eorioù

Hag e-barzh ar veilh-se... la la la... Hag e-barzh ar veilh-se e oa ur servijourez

E oa ur servijourez, gê! E oa ur servijourez

Hag e c'houlenn ganin... la la la... Hag e c'houlenn ganin pelec'h 'n eus graet konesañs

Pelec'h 'n eus graet konesañs, gê! Pelec'h 'n eus graet konesañs

E Naoned er marc'had... la la la... E Naoned er marc'had hor boa choazet ur walenn



English
Three young sailors... la la la... Three young sailors went traveling

Went traveling! Went traveling

And the wind pushed them... la la la... The wind pushed them to Newfoundland

All the way to Newfoundland! All the way to Newfoundland

Next to the windmill stone... la la la... Next to the windmill stone, they dropped anchor

They dropped anchor! They dropped anchor

And in that windmill... la la la... And in that windmill was a servant girl

There was a servant girl! There was a servant girl

And she asked me... la la la... And she asked me where we met

Where have we met before? Where have we met before

In Nantes at the market... la la la... In Nantes at the market, we chose a ring

Cézembre / Re: Provincial anthem?
April 08, 2024, 11:03:06 PM
I stumbled around with a Fanfare to go with the anthem using Musescore

https://drive.google.com/file/d/15dz9fhHGgjYAqYN8urENvq9f4CbX3pOh/view?usp=sharing is the 12 bars for brass

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qIwZFArd9a45UKHZ1AsPRmPCDMli2hoZ/view?usp=sharing is a synthetic performance

Cézembre / DRAFT Consulate to Péngöpäts
April 07, 2024, 09:26:18 AM
Whereas there is a Cézembre Point in Antarctica

https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=C%C3%A9zembre_Point&params=66_48_S_141_26_E_source:GNIS

and

Whereas Cézembre should have a consulate that communicates with Péngöpäts Antarctic Territory,

and

Whereas Cézembre Point in Antarctica looks cool on a Mercator projection map as being directly south of Australia

and

Whereas while Cézembre Point (at 141° 26′ 0″ E) is actually on the other side of Antarctica than Péngöpäts (which is 90° to 150° W) it does lie within Adélie Land, which is administered as one of five districts of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands since 1955 and applied the Antarctic Treaty System rules since 1961

and

Whereas the Adélie penguin can be found both in Péngöpäts and near Cézembre Point thus providing a network of communication

Thus the Consulate of Cézembre to Péngöpäts shall be established at Cézembre Point

https://w3w.co/landscapes.widespread.refreeze

and the Royal Governor of Péngöpäts may be engaged in defining a reciprocal Péngöpäts consulate on
Cézembre


###


It will also be suggested to the Royal Governor of Péngöpäts to update https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_claims_in_Antarctica under other claims.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on April 04, 2024, 01:42:21 PMSo I guess it's settled then. I'm composing the melody to the anthem myself. Give me some time.

That is an excellent development!  I'm sure your creativity will shine through. 

One idea for the lyrics might be to have a blend of Talossan, French, and English lyrics?  Perhaps echoes in the different languages (similar to the Beatles "Michelle") or just words used as is (similar to Talking Heads "Psycho Killer")

Quote from: Ián Tamorán S.H. on March 18, 2024, 04:17:08 PMI have just published a novel - fiction, sort-of-science-fiction, surreal, abstract - and (I hope) rather funny.
If you want to look at it, it's available at (paperback): Unremembered Future   
ebook at: Unremembered Future (ebook)

Other works include:

A children's novel (paperback): Emerald Pie (ebook): Emerald Pie (ebook)
Teaching stories (for children) (paperback) The Carpenter's Carpet
Pantomime "Aladdin" (paperback) A Lad in Knaphill. and his Magic Lamp
Pantomime: "Cinderella" (paperback) Cinderella - and her Bearded Sisters
Poetry (Talossan and other) (paperback): Poesie

Enjoy!


For the dead tree version, which I prefer...
Do you receive a higher royalty if purchased from Lulu?  It is at a lower price on Amazon.

0000 (or 2300) would seem to be reasonable for CZ instead of 0230.

Quote from: Glüc da Dhi S.H. on March 02, 2024, 02:09:46 PMI know I said I wouldn't do anything as Senator, but I have decided to do a thing anyway, which is to propose an OrgLaw amendment which sets the deadline for election night at a time which is much more reasonable for Cézembre (midnight instead of 2:30 am)

Cézembreans are very much encouraged to have a look and provide feedback. I am interested to know if there is support for this change within our province.

https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3108.msg25629#new

You provide a quite reasonable adjustment for the GTA  How will it blend with your CAG A10
The it's about time act (confirmed by the Crown on 19 January 2021 but proposed well before that but not acted upon)?

Whereas it doesn't make much sense for Talossan Standard Time being used in Cézembre, and

Whereas in the neighbouring French Town of St. Malo Central European Time is being used, now

Therefore unless when otherwise mentioned the time used for official business in Cézembre will be UTC +1, which shall be referred to as CÉzembrean Time (CÉT), except in the period between the last sunday in March, 01:00 UTC and the last sunday in October, 01:00 UTC, when the time used for official business in Cézembre will be UTC +2, which shall be referred to as CÉzembrean Summer Time (CÉST).

Quote from: xpb on February 29, 2024, 03:20:04 PMTo celebrate this auspicious agreement, perhaps we need to have a toast with some appropriate beverage - one that is non-alcoholic, along with perhaps another one that is a potent potable.  Looking at https://www.brittanytourism.com/matching-what-i-want/food-drink/drinks/whisky-liqueurs-breton-spirits/ this could indicate apple juice for some and Lambig or Fine de Bretagne for others as representative of the Cézembre side - what about suggestions from Vuode?


Absinthe? Or perhaps a fine scotch?

maybe some spirit made close to the GTA? https://greatlakesdistillery.com

Cézembre map updates - new map link

I move to accept the homestead application of:
Barclamïu da Miéletz   
https://w3w.co/shady.health.hummed corresponding to https://w3w.co/imagerie.chocolatier.austère
and surrounding 3 meters as per CAG A13, An Act to secure Homesteads on the Isle of Cézembre

And a location within Zone Authorizee for: 
Consulate of Vuode   
https://w3w.co/beverages.rations.hesitant
corresponding to https://w3w.co/carrossier.rinçons.nuque
Which is located in a place immediately west of Óifisch Rexhital del Tourismeu and surrounding 3 meters

I have also found links for to the Consulate of Cézembre in Vuode at https://w3w.co/icons.player.panel corresponding to https://w3w.co/réémetteur.indivision.crémeuse
Of interest is a notation of the Martha Coles Community Room nearby at https://w3w.co/unit.brass.agree corresponding to https://w3w.co/dénommer.fondamentaux.jurer
https://uwm.edu/off-campus-resources/venue/marcia-coles-community-room/

I also note that there is listed a Héliport de Cézembre at https://w3w.co/sonore.timide.stimulons and I have added it provisionally as well

Perhaps outfits such as https://www.funbooker.com/en/listing/helicopter-flight-over-dinard-saint-malo-35/show utilize this location?

Për, as I suppose it would be odd for me to make any other vote
