carmagnole

Wild song and dance that accompanied the peasant costume of the same name, from Piedmont and the Midi, worn by southern French revolutionaries to Paris in 1793. The song and dance were very popular with the revolutionaries during the Terror in Paris.

The refrain of each verse was: ‘Vive le son, vive le son / Dansons la Carmagnole / Vive le son du canon!’.
