Jaume d'Escriu, al blog de Xesca Ensenyat de l'Hidroavió apagafocs, ha tengut la gentilesa de traduir tot l'article a l'anglès per escampar-ho arreu del món, ja que la censura de l'Himne hauria d'arribar a tot arreu. Aquí la teniu per fer-ne escampadissa: The past 18 November, in opening act of the dome of Miquel Barceló in the Room of the Human Rights of Geneva, the agenda of the day announced The Hymn of the United Nations. Those who knew the work, known as The Hymn of Peace, we knew that it was impossible. The room, pressed in with 700 persons, did not allow to squeeze in an orchestra and a choir, how it requires the composition. When he arrived the moment, we remove the slip of the pen: a cellist interpreted The singing of the birds, melody that popularized Pau Casals. The confusion made me curious. Being an official function, not to have been planned the anthem of the UN, forcing the protocol to use the hymns of Spain and Switzerland (as summoning states and host). It was not like this. Wrong The organizers had been wrong? I have inquired and the conclusion is a surprise that capitalized, in my view, is demanding reparation! Because the relationship of Pau Casals to the UN deserves a monograph, I was limited to the basic axes to solve the mystery detected. In 1963, Pau Casals premiere the oratory The Crib, as a contribution to world peace, dedicated "to the 18th anniversary of the creation of the UN and the 25th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights." Years later, to commemorate its 25th anniversary, the then UN Secretary General, U Thant, asked for Pau Casals in the composition of the anthem to the United Nations on a letter that, subject to collect Preamble of the Charter of the United Nations, had been entrusted to Wystan Hugh Auden, the poet considered the most influential and important in the English language from TS Eliot. Once completed, the work was tested and, two months before the Casals did 95 years old, 24th October 1971 at the UN headquarters in New York, the orchestra and chorus of the Festival Casals, guided by their teacher, presented as a world premiere the anthem of the United Nations in front of delegates from around the world who rose to applaud. Then go to the Casals assistants in English to make a proclamation excited identity ("I am Catalan!") Before the cello interpreted "the singing of birds", the Catalan song that he made universal. The event made history, however, never again should not be interpreted the anthem at the United Nations. From that day the mystery begins. As well as the anthem and officially released edited by Alexander Broude Inc. New York has disappeared? As well as the anthem remains inside the arena as the flower romanial? As well as the site of the United Nations describes the work of Casals and Auden as "an" anthem, but says it has no official anthem? Who and why he ordered carry-over of that land poetic and musical composition? Do not need too much research to clarify what happened. It is common knowledge that the words of Casals, exile, evil-you-touch-plague and a kick in the stomach for the so called "open democratic" of Fraga Lopez Castiella and Bravo, Franco ministers who claims to renovators. There is no official version, but the evidence reveal that, with diplomatic moves, Spain did sewer work to disallow the anthem. For his part, Auden, the author of the letter, had part of the International Brigades during the Spanish uncivil war. Even he published a long poem, Spain 1937, which was sold across Europe to raise funds for medical expenses of the Republican side, where he drived an ambulance. In addition, Auden lived with the American poet Chester Kallmann says in ostentation of the homosexual condition. In short, the government Franco hated the two authors of the anthem. To round it, in Britain it went well of maneuvering Spain. The British Auden considered a traitor because, in 1939, he left to the United States, and adopted the nationality. The poet, disappointed, showed critical of his country for not having defended the Republican cause in Spain and, although, in 1956, Oxford awarded him a professorship in poetry, the British will not forgive the desertion. The hidden performance of Spain to silence the anthem coincided with the death, almost simultaneously, by the authors. Auden died on 29 September 1973 and Casals, 23 October of that year. Who argue? Auden and Casals not received any gratitude and still suffer unjust censorship. Must be the only known case in history that is killed an hymn commissioned, edited and released. It is clear that the Spanish government must repair, but the UN is responsible for having commissioned the work, be it officially, and then have it buried, censored, muted and banned reaching unmentionable pressures against the authors. The relays at the head of the UN have done that, 37 years after the ignominy, ignored the story. The antics of the former managers have been replaced by pure ignorance of the current. It is not about their having made the big eyes or having daydreamed. November 18 this year, the United Nations in Geneva, nobody went to search the PARTS of the anthem that had been announced and no one admitted the error, but "the singing of birds" was to unmask the evidence. The facts are as described and demand fair redress. If nothing else, the good name of Casals and Auden. For this purpose, in the hope that the politicians in making good use, I have built the article.
