De Guella

De Guella (Èl Degüella) by Dimitri Tiomkin for the film Rio Bravo (1959).

De Guella was played by order of Antonio López de Santa Anna for the defending Texians at Alamo.

The original meaning of the Èl Degüello call was an appeal to the enemy to surrender or else they would die by the sword.

[vaahti]

You're right. Nobody wants to read that kind of shit. I removed the abusive comments.

you and "shaneymac2" have some serious mental issues. You need to go somewhere and grow up.

The rest of humanity doesn't really need you.

@grannydyess I like the story where one of the wives of a mexican officer realized that they were killing unarmed men after they surrendered honorably and saw two 15 year old texans they were going to shoot standing together...she stood in front of them and DARED the mexican soldiers to shoot...they didnt..the boys survived..and many claim the song "The Yellow Rose Of Texas" was about her

@MrOldschool416 Do you know if there is a particular genre name for this sort of Sombre, Horn based Mexican music?

Its form is hinted at in alot of Westerns, but to date no one has told me what its actually "called"?

for fairies47... please note there is a "part 2" to the Mexicna massacre of the patriots at the Alamo.... it is called the Battle of San Jacinto AKA the batlle of Texas Indepdance

[ccrich100]

@fairies47 Yes...there is the dark, sombre tones of the music in this piece...Strange how many shades comprises beauty...

[fairies47]

I'm French so i'm not sure to understand what you mean... But I'm not crying because of the political issue of this song, just because of the music, its beauty, its melancholy...

[fairies47]

I cry each time I hear this melody....
