Vaudeville (song)
A vaudeville is a French satire, satirical poem or song born of the 17th and 18th centuries. Its name is lent to the French theatre, theatrical entertainment ''comédie en vaudeville'' of the 19th and 20th century. From these vaudeville took its name. The earliest vaudeville was the ''vau de vire'', a Normandy, Norman song of the 15th century, named after the valley of Vire. During the 16th century emerged a style in urban France called the ''voix de ville'' (city voice), whose name may have been a pun on ''vau de vire'', and which was also satirical. The two styles converged and in the 17th and 18th century the term "vaudeville" came to be used for songs satirizing political and court events. In 1717 a collection was published in Paris of over 300 vaudevilles, entitled ''La clef des chansonniers, ou recueil des vaudevilles depuis 100 ans et plus [The singers' key, or collection of Vaudevilles from over 100 years]'', and in 1733 in the same city a club, "Le Caveau", was founded ...

Male Actors From Lyon
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example of ...

19th-century French Dramatists And Playwrights
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Comédie En Vaudevilles
The ''comédie en vaudevilles'' () was a theatrical entertainment which began in Paris towards the end of the 17th century, in which comedy was enlivened through lyrics using the melody of popular vaudeville (song), vaudeville songs.Barnes 2001. Evolution The annual fairs of Paris at St. Germain and St. Laurent had developed theatrical variety entertainments, with mixed plays, acrobatics, acrobatic displays, and pantomimes, typically featuring vaudevilles (see Théâtre de la foire). Gradually these features began to invade established theatres. The ''Querelle des Bouffons'' (War of the Clowns), a dispute amongst theatrical factions in Paris in the 1750s, in part reflects the rivalry of this form, as it evolved into ''opéra comique'', with the Italian ''opera buffa''. ''Comédie en vaudevilles'' also seems to have influenced the English ballad opera and the German Singspiel.

Chansonnier (singer)
A ''chansonnier'' (female: ''chansonnière'') was a poet songwriter, a solitary singer, who sang his or her own songs (''chansons'') with a guitar, prominent in francophone countries during the 1960s and 1970s. Unlike popular singers, ''chansonniers'' need no artifice to sing their soul poetry. They performed in "''Les Boites à Chansons''" which flourished during those years. The themes of their songs varied but included nature, love, simplicity and a social interest to improve their world. Canada In Canada, the ''chansonnier'' tradition played a prominent role in the development of Quebec's social and political awareness during the Quiet Revolution, (''la Révolution tranquille'') that led to the affirmation of Quebecers' national identity. One prominent ''chansonnier'', Robert Charlebois, transformed the province's musical culture when he moved from traditional ''chansonnier'' pop to a more rock-oriented sound with his fourth album, ''Lindberg'', in 1968.Bob Mersereau, ''The His ...
