26 juin : le joueur de flûte d'Hamelin, une parabole très actuelle
Chaque année le 26 juin, la ville d’Hamelin, la ville du Joueur de flûte, chasseur de rats, est en fête, c’est Rattenfängertag. L’histoire reprise au XVIIe siècle par les frères Grimm raconte qu’un homme vêtu d'un long manteau multicolore s’est présenté dans la petite ville d’Hamelin comme un exterminateur de rats. Les habitants de la ville acceptent sa proposition de débarrasser la ville des rats. Ils le virent alors sortir une flûte et entraîner les rats hors de la ville au son de sa musique. Quand est venu le moment pour lui de réclamer son salaire, les citoyens d’Hamelin l’ont expulsé sans ménagement. Quelque temps plus tard, on le vit revenir. Alors que les habitants d’Hamelin étaient rassemblés dans les églises à écouter des chants religieux, l’homme au chapeau rouge ressorti sa flute et se mit à jouer. Cette fois, ce sont les enfants de la ville qui entraina au loin. Ils étaient 130, dont le fils du maire, on ne les revit jamais. Selon la légende, cela se serait produit le 26 juin 1284.
La notoriété de cette histoire est telle que la ville d’Hamelin (Hameln), en Basse-Saxe, organise chaque 26 juin, une grande fête locale en costumes d’époque avec des concerts de flûte. L’évènement est devenu au fil des ans très touristique.
Mais est-ce vraiment une légende ? Des historiens ont cherché un fondement à cette histoire dont il existe plusieurs versions. Certains ont voulu y voir les crimes d’un pédophile, mais 130 enfants en même temps cela fait beaucoup. L’une des versions propose un indice intéressant. Elle raconte que les enfants auraient été emmenés dans une grotte de la région qui conduit tout droit en Transylvanie.
Les historiens allemands font remarquer qu’au XIIIe siècle beaucoup d’habitants de la Basse-Saxe se sont laissé recruter pour aller travailler, justement, en Transylvanie, souvent les plus pauvres et les plus jeunes. Cette migration a laissé des traces dans la Roumanie actuelle où vit encore une communauté saxonne. Klaus Iohannis, l’actuel président de la Roumanie est l’un de leurs descendants. Ces Allemands venus jadis s’établir en Transylvanie étaient recrutés par de beaux parleurs qui leur promettaient un lopin de terre et une vie meilleure sur les terre à coloniser. C’était un coup dur pour les villes allemandes qui perdaient ainsi une maind’œuvre bon marché. Pour se faire remarquer sur les places publiques, les recruteurs qui allaient de ville en ville, frappaient sur un tambour et jouaient de la flûte… d’où la légende du joueur de flûte d’Hamelin qui fit disparaître les enfants.
Pourquoi des enfants ? À l’époque, le terme avait un sens plus large qu’aujourd’hui, il désignait les gens de peu ou “ceux qui ne sont rien” pour reprendre une formule malheureuse. On sait aujourd’hui, par exemple, que la croisade de 1212 qui parti d’Allemagne, la fameuse « croisade des enfants » était en fait composée de pauvres, pour beaucoup de jeunes gens sans avenir cherchant au loin une nouvelle vie.
Voilà une parabole très actuelle qui pourrait s’appliquer aux passeurs sans scrupule qui entassent les jeunes Africains dans des pirogues ou des canots surchargés en direction des Canaries ou de la Sicile au risque de leur vie. Les parents les voient disparaître, parfois pour toujours. L’histoire du joueur de flûte n’évoquerait-il pas la douleur des familles confrontées à la migration d’un enfant ?

FELLOW MUSICIANS!
I do. I name my clarinet. My first one was named after my favorite kotlc characters. Its name was Bangs Boy Hunkyhair Supreme (iykyk) my current clarinet is named Walker Apollo. Walker after Walker scobell as requested by my bestie, and Apollo after the god of music.
so what about you?

My best advice for those who want to pick up a new hobby but feel intimidated by perceived elitism is to just do what works and is available to you
I'm a musician, yet I purchased instruments online that were around $100 (very cheap considering the instruments). It's okay to do things like that! You don't have to be a Beethoven who only uses the most sophisticated instruments that cost over ten thousand dollars. And it's okay to pick up an instrument just so you can learn meme songs! You are learning something new and are applying it in ways that are enjoyable! You don't have to be ~classically trained~ or whatever.
I use music as an example because I have seen so many people who are almost ashamed that they want to dip their toes in and buy a cheap instrument, or are ashamed that they don't want to play the stuffy music that is thrusted onto musicians. However, this applies to literally anything.
Learn to write so you can write fanfic (yes, even lemons), learn to draw so you can make cringy comics, learn to compose so you can make vaporwave music. Buy cheap things that you can get your hands on, it doesn't matter when you are creating and learning!
If you are interested in a hobby, it is okay not to dive head-first into it. It's okay to be into it for a very specific purpose! You'll find that often, the elitism is either very fringe or is a stereotype, and the people in the hobby or passion will love what you're doing!
#positivity#encouragement#encouraging words#ALSO many times the cheap shit DOES last you#my bestie got a cheap/cheap quality ebay sax in fifth grade and she used it until our senior year because she took care of it#the stereotype that cheap is inherently worthless is probably just classism. you're doing great <3#i'm learning bass partially because i wanna play meme music lmao#when i played clarinet i played a SHIT TON of meme music too. it was great

so impressed by your transposing skills! what is your musical background? were you in choir or band in school? I got my degree in music (voice major) and seeing your sheets really took me back.
Also you're so nbd about it. I love the piano moments in frank's songs- like beginning of great party or fever dream or the iconic attention reader piano
could you make one of the fever dream opening?
brb just yk gonna cry rq
i’ve been playing Alto Sax since I was 11 mostly with school orchestral bands, and was also in chorus through that time.
I picked up bass when I was around 17 or thereabouts for funsies and because yk bass is fucking great.
I think i’m so nonchalant about it bc I never had like private lessons or higher schooling with either and so like I guess it’s sorta like….mostly self taught and I always seem to put people who’ve been professionally taught/trained so far above me.
I used to practice daily with one or the other or both to keep up but I’ve barely been able to play either for like the last god like 6 or so years. so like while i still know how to play it’s like getting my hands to fucking do it and getting my embouchure and breath control back up to par 😂☠️☠️☠️
I like to think I have a pretty good ear lmfao playing by ear is also a fun challenge. I’m definitely better at it with my sax but yk more experience there.
And oh god. fever dream. I fucking love every aspect of that song with every fiber of my being jfc. Of fucking course I will. It’s a win win too bc then I could fuck around on it with my sax after too >:3
Other than that I just really fucking love music. Like one of my biggest coping mechanisms is to put on a song and focus on an instrument (usually bass unless I’m in the mood for some sax or piano) and identify the time signature, bpm, tempo range, and key. It works almost every goddamn time.~🎃
(wow sorry for the fucking essay lmfao but I mean you DID ask)
#i’ll work on that piano intro for you today!!!#it’ll probably be done today if it goes anything like last night with the hyper focus mode hitting#UGH i just love fever dream sm#frank has some good piano in his songs#frnkiebby#abrandnewshadow#frank iero#music#bass#sax#piano#instruments#asks

do you ever get homesick for an instrument?
#i know at least half of y’all don’t even really play instruments but lemme have this#venting time:#i’m good at bass clarinet. like not particularly great. but i’ve played it enough in certain challenging situations to get good at it#and like. everyone recognizes it. sure my neurodivergence makes it hard but hey. my effort is recognized and my playing is complimented#AND NOW IM ON TENOR FUCKING SAX#it’s fun. it’s cool. but oh god I CAN PLAY TWO NOTES AND ONE HALF-OCTAVE SCALE#LIKE BRO. TF IS THIS SHIT#i’m not good at it. and that annoys me. so i’m probably gonna get annoyed to the point where i will practice out of spite. and that’s fine#but also i haven’t played bass clarinet in over two weeks and i turned in both my school instruments#rip theodosia 3 and 4#i say things sometimes#bass clarinet#tenor saz#marching band
