FÊTE DES VIGNERONS 2019

... Mon présent est petit et n'a aucune puissance matérielle ; 

je ne puis t'offrir ni la force, ni la richesse des deux autres. 

Ma voix, mon cor, ma mélodie, une âme limpide et un coeur content : ... 

Ma mélodie te gagnerait chaque coeur en Haute et Basse Gruyère 

et dans tout le pays.. 

Peu de temps après, Rose et François chantèrent ensemble la mélodie du Liôba ou Ranz des vaches à deux voix. 

Ainsi le Liôba prit naissance et se répandit parmi les armaillis, les familles et gardes suisses de génération en génération.

Une fois par génération seulement, la Fête des Vignerons éblouit plusieurs centaines de milliers de spectateurs à Vevey en Suisse.

Le Ranz des vaches ou Liôba est un moment très attendu de la prochaine Fête des vignerons. Savoir qui allait l’interpréter a fait l’objet d’un intense suspense tant dans le public qu’auprès des médias. Pourquoi cet intérêt?

Halder, médecin suisse en 1678, du grec nostos “retour” et algos “mal, souffrance” sur le modèle des mots médicaux en –algie. Nostos est dérivé du verbe nesthai “revenir, retourner chez soi”, racine grecque que l’on retrouve dans le prénom Nestôr “celui qui rentre heureusement”. Nostalgia traduit le mot suisse alémanique Heimweh “mal du pays” appliqué aux mercenaires suisses à l’étranger. Il désigne l’état de dépérissement et de langueur causé par le regret obsédant du pays natal, ainsi que l’état de regret mélancolique du passé, ou d’une chose idéale que l’on n’a pas eue, désir insatisfait. « La nostalgie, c’est le désir d’on ne sait quoi. » (A. de Saint-Exupéry) WINEGROWERS' FESTIVAL 2019 ... My present is small and has no material power;  I can't offer you the strength or wealth of the other two.  My voice, my horn, my melody, a clear soul and a happy heart:...  My melody would win you every heart in Upper and Lower Gruyère  and all over the country...  Shortly afterwards, Rose and François sang together the melody of Liôba or Ranz des vaches for two voices.  Thus the Liôba was born and spread among the Swiss army, families and guards from generation to generation.

INVITATION SOUTH CHINA SEA

Nevertheless, China is using its growing reach to discard or change these rules as it sees fit, seeking a “might makes right” approach to the seas. Against this background, the conference will provide opportunities for in-depth discussion and analysis of the future of the South China Sea disputes after 3 years of the Hague tribunal ruling. It will feature international speakers addressing the roles and limits of international law to make a meaningful contribution to a rules-based global order in a battleground of norms in the South China Sea, seeking policy options to counter China’s assertive expansion strategy under the so-called “salami slicing” and “cabbage strategy” activities for incrementally gaining a greater degree of control over land features, waters, and air space in the South China Sea, and discovering international and regional cooperation mechanism in order to govern the sustainability of the South China Sea. >> more information CLUB SUISSE DE LA PRESSE Route de Ferney 106 La Pastorale 1202 Genève T: +41(0) 22 546 14 44 F: +41(0) 22 546 14 45 E-mail info@pressclub.ch
