  Anna Marly - Telegraph
Anna Marly, who has died aged 88, was a Russian-born French singer and guitarist and inspired the wartime French resistance with her broadcasts from the BBC - notably with the stirring Le Chant des partisans (Song of the Partisans), which became arguably France's most famous tune after La Marseillaise.
Anna Marly whistled the tune as a station signal at the start of the BBC's Free French broadcasts, entitled Honneur et Patrie, her crisp, clear whistle cracking through Nazi jamming to lift the hearts of French maquisards and ordinary citizens alike.
Anna Marly was born Anna Betoulinsky in St Petersburg on October 30 1917 at the height of Lenin's October revolution.

 LA VANGUARDIA DIGITAL - Fallece a los 88 años Anna Marly, autora del himno de la Resistencia francesa
(EFE).- Anna Marly, autora de la música del 'Canto de los partisanos', la canción que se convirtió en himno de la Resistencia francesa a la ocupación nazi, falleció hoy a los 88 años.
Marly compuso en 1942 en Londres el símbolo sonoro de la lucha contra la ocupación nazi de Francia en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a la que los jóvenes periodistas y escritores Joseph Kessel y Maurice Druon añadieron letra en francés un año después.
Condecorada con la Orden Nacional del Mérito en 1965 y la Legión de Honor en 1985, Marly interpretó en 2000 el 'Canto de los partisanos' en el Panteón de París, en la víspera del sexagésimo aniversario del famoso llamamiento a la resistencia del general Charles de Gaulle a través de los micrófonos de la BBC.

 NCW--What the Critics Say About Marly Swick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Marly Swick's accomplished stories are wholly contemporary in their grasp of the American situation and wholly traditional in their establishment of rounded, complex characters who live beyond the pages that define them here.
Marly Swick is consistently original and unflinching in her observations of the dynamics that develop between friends and lovers, parents and children, husbands and wives.
Marly Swick's is the voice you hear beneath the covers, or when your ear is pressed to the closed door of another's private life, and there's no sentence she wouldn't write to remind us, her needy and prodigal tribe, that how it was then is exactly how it is now.

 Anna Marly, 88, Dies; Inspired French Resistance in Song - New York Times
Anna Marly, who wrote the melody to the song that became the anthem of the French Resistance in World War II and whose whistling and singing on the radio were an inspiration to the anti-Nazi underground, died on Feb. 15 in her home in Palmer, Alaska.
Miss Marly, who in her later years used her married name, Smiernow, wrote the melody to "Chant des Partisans," or "Song of the Partisans," which became an unofficial French anthem in the last years of World War II.
Marly whistled the first notes of "Chant des Partisans" to signal the twice-daily broadcasts of the program "Honor and Homeland." Her crisp, clear whistling pierced the static caused by Nazi jamming.

 Bonjour Paris : Travel, Hotels, Food, Wine, Restaurants, Paris France - The Song that Went to War Lives On
Anna Marly, the Russian-born but French-raised composer of The Chant, passed away on February 16 at the age of 88.
The reason is that Marly originally had composed the song in 1942 with lyrics in her native Russian language.
Marly, whose Chant had earned her the nickname, "Troubadour of the Resistance," starred in a long series of victory galas, celebrations and performances immediately after France's Liberation, but, after a time, she decided to move on again, with her guitar, to continue her singing career elsewhere in Europe and both Americas.

 Long Sunday: Variations on a theme: La complainte du partisan
Anna Marly (formerly Anna Betoulinsky) died at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy that included two variations on the theme of the partisan.
Armed only with her voice and a guitar, Marly would travel around London to perform the songs either for BBC radio broadcasts (heard by comrades via pirate radio in France) or small audiences.
Anna Marly and her co-writers could only point indirectly to the promise the partisan brings, as well as the promise under which the partisan functions—couched as it is in the inky flness of shadow or night, or borne on a funereal wind.

This song is actually an adaptation from "La complainte du partisan", written in London during 1943, by Emmanuel D'Astier de la Vigerie (called "Bernard" in the French Resistance) and Anna Marly.
He heard the song on the BBC waves; maybe the radio broadcast didn't give him the name of the lyric writer, but only Marly's name, who wrote the music and gave the original performance.
As in Marly's original performance, listeners feel as if they are sitting in front a firecamp, with a lonely partisan and her guitar.
