Where the <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> composer normally <span style="color: #685a5a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">instructs "tenors and basses," Berlioz wrote "everyone <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">with a voice, soul, and <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> blood in his veins." <span style="color: #4c4848; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">After another revolt in 1830, there was new interest in <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">La Marseillaise. De Lisle <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> wrote Berlioz a <span style="color: #5a5858; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">letter of appreciation for his arrangement, and invited Berlioz <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">to discuss a libretto <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> that de Lisle had <span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">written, but de Lisle died before they could meet <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Hearing the rousing arrangement <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> by Berlioz makes <span style="color: #3a3b3a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">one want to jump up and storm the <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Bastille all over again. **
 * <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Bastille Day <span style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">holiday in France symbolizes the overthrow of <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">the old monarchy and the <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> beginning of the <span style="color: #4c4d4c; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">French republic. The monarchy was not just <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">undemocratic.

Their motto was "laissez <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">faire, laissez passer" meaning <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> let it be made and <span style="color: #4f554e; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">let it <span style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">pass, without interventions.

He eliminated some taxes and <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">attempted to reduce barriers to <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> trade, but was <span style="color: #424242; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">then removed from office due to the opposition of the <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">aristocracy to the impot <span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> unique.
