Topic: Senyera


  
  Senyera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Senyera is a vexillological symbol which consists of four red stripes on a golden background.
In Catalan, senyera is also a synonym of bandera ('flag'), although by antonomasy, the word normally refers to the Catalan flag in particular.
The Senyera is said to be one of the oldest flags of the world.

 Estelada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A estelada ("starred"), which may also be known as estrelada, is a flag with a star adopted as a battle flag by some independentist movements.
This often refers to the original and derived flags from the four-stripped Senyera adopted by Catalan independentism movement.
The Valencian nationalist senyera, also known simply as estrelada, is a flag of the Land of Valencia that evolved from the flag of Valencia based on the former Catalan estelada.

 HISTORY OF THE FLAG IN THE CATALAN COUNTRIES
With or without an embroidered crown (and the most probable is that the senyera's later than 1449 had the embroidered crown) it is not proved that it was on a blue band (in fact practically it is sure than the blue band was added much later).
To compensate the shortness of the flag and continuing a neoghotic usage then prevailing, the flag was united to the hoist through a bluish-gray piece of fabric, covering the junction with a red band (and on the bluish-gray band was put the leaves of the crown and on the red the circlet's ornaments).
The royal senyera remained the same, though swallowtailed instead of round-ended, a more recognizable design; the addition was thus intended to hang the flag (and to complete it) and not as part of it.

 Orfeó Atlàntida
In those times it could not lack, like it was tradition, the blessing of the Senyera of the Orfeó; this religious ceremony was celebrated in 1927 in the Basilica de la Ntra.
That year were organized diverse acts of commemoration and a book for the history of the Orfeó Atlántida wrote by the eminent illustrious neighbor of the district of Hostafrancs, the doctor Joan Pelegri i Partegás, was published.
In addition, recalling the blessing of the Senyera, a new visit to Montserrat was planned.

The Catalonian flag is called the Senyera (flag).
The translation of the word senyera into English is "indicative" ["signal"] since senyal can be translated as "sign".

The devices in the blue and red vertical bands of the hoist were a bit different to the current ones.
Again in Valencian, but the drawings are self-explanatory and the argument is that the original (gonfalon-like) royal flag (Senyera Reial) was allegedly unproperly restored in the 19th century, when it was cut into a swallowtailed flag and (because of the resulting short fly) a blue decorative hoist band added to it.

Utilizada en sellos, monedas, mapas, pergaminos oficiales,etc., y en el casco de nuestros reyes, se convirtio en la representacion heraldica de los valencianos hasta nuestros dias, aunque en muchos momentos se nos representaba con el antiguo escudo, o con los dos a la vez.
Parece que Bartolome Olives, autor de este mapa, intuyo la negacion del azul de la Senyera que hoy en dia se hace, dejandonos una prueba incontestable de su existencia en 1552.

 Catalonia (Spain)
It is sometimes incorrectly said that senyera ultimately comes from the Spanish words sangre y oro (blood and gold) [or from Catalan sang i or].
The confusion arises from the use of the same colours as in the Spanish flag.

 Palau Güell | Barcelona Sights & Activities | Fodor's Online Travel Guide
Gaudí's principal obsession in this project was to find a way to illuminate this seven-story house tightly surrounded by other buildings in the cramped quarters of the Raval.
The prominent quatre barras (four bars) of the Catalan senyera (banner) on the facade between the parabolic (looping) entrance arches attest to the nationalist fervor that Gaudí shared with Güell.
The dark facade is a dramatic foil for the treasure house inside, where spear-shaped Art Nouveau columns frame the windows and prop up a series of detailed and elaborately carved wood ceilings.

The October of 1738 (31 years after the defeat of Almansa), the city of València arranged for a new “senyera”(Catalan’s flag name) to be sewed in honour of the Fith Aniversary of the city’s conquest.
The new yellow “senyera” with the four red bars did not have the blue colour or any other.
Are historical the “senyera” that the Catalan women offered to the Unió Catalanista (Catalanist Union) the year 1891, which the poet Joan Maragall dedicated his poem La Nostra Bandera (Our Flag); and the Catalan Orfeo “senyera” (also in 1891), which has its own anthem: El Cant de la Senyera (The Senyera Song).

Several excavations confirm the town’s Iberian past, although its splendour only arrived in the 9th century under Muslim rule.
In 1233 it was conquered by Jaume I. In 1339 king Pere IV El Cerimoniós rewarded the town’s fidelity and granted it with the same privileges as the city of Valencia and a flag or senyera with a blue stripe and three crowns.
It was in 1901 when Burriana was denominated a City by the regent queen, on behalf of king Don Alfonso.

 LLUÍS MILLET I PAGÈS
Another very important aspect of his work, is the impulse that he gave to the religious popular song and the revaluation of the XVI century sacred polyphony.
Millet is considered a brilliant representative of the Musical Modernisme (Art Nouveau).
His enthusiasm by this style is manifested in his election of Lluís Domènech i Montaner as a architect to build the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Orfeó Català Music hall, building benedicted by the Cardinal Casañas the 9 February of 1908, with a musical program showing the Millet ideology and including:

 MUSIC
This tendency is clearly manifested in the interest of Modernist (Art Nouveau) musicians in the folkloric and popular music - this is specially the case of Albéniz, Granados, Nicolau and Morera -.
In Catalonia, in addition, a strong national feeling is also present in the compositions: Millet with "El cant de la Senyera" - the "Senyera song" (a song in homage of Catalan flag) -, as an example.
Other specific element of Catalan Art Nouveau music is the "Wagnerisme" - the influence of Wagner - which is very clear in the works of some Catalan composers during the first quarter of the XXth century, Barcelona being one of the most "wagnerian" cities in the world.

The Catalans, like many stateless nations, have two versions of their flag: one moderate, one radical.
The first, the Senyera, is the recognised national symbol and banner of the devolved Catalan autonomous region of Spain; the other, the Estelada, is the independentist banner.
Spain being as it is, you'll see both flags aplenty when Barcelona FC takes to the field.
