Variations of runosong in contemporary Estonia: Continuing a code of singing This article provides an overview of the contemporary, largely revitalized, and multi-layered runosong tradition within the context of its historical development, showing how the ancient Finnic song heritage – nearly extinct by the end of the 19th century – began to revive in the second half of the 20th century through earlier documentation, surviving peripheral traditio…
Millise lauliku lapsepõli? Laulu „Kui ma olin väiksekene” allikatest ja autoritest
The childhood of which songster? On the origins and authors of a beloved song Keywords: folklore, ethnomusicology, choral music, runosong, orality and literacy One of the most iconic and seminal musical works of Estonian culture, the song Lauliku lapsepõli (“Childhood of the Songster”), often referred to by its opening words, “Kui ma olin väiksekene” (“When I Was Little”), was composed on the basis of Estonian folk songs in collaboration between …
Corpus-Based Research of Semantic Aspects of Laul-Stem Words in Estonian, Focused on Past Newspaper Texts and Folk Song Lyrics
This study examines conceptions of singing across various Estonian cultural spheres through corpus-based analysis of the singing-related vocabulary. The words with the stem laul 'song'/'sing' are analysed in five linguistic corpora, with a detailed focus on two of them: the Estonian Media Corpus (EMC), comprising 1890s newspaper texts from the Corpus of Written Estonian (Eesti Kirjakeele Korpus: 1890ndad; see CWE 2018), and the Regilaul corpus fr…
Loomislaul alguste kiigel
Eesti loomislaul on müütiline rahvalaul maailma sünnist. Lennates tuleb imepärane lind, valib kuldse põõsa või kiigeõrre pesapaigaks ja muneb sinna munad, haub välja pojad ja pillub laiali, nii et neist tekivad päike, kuu ja täht. Loomise ajal on küll osa maailmast juba olemas – meri ja põõsad, puupuru ja maamuru... Miks on siis vaja uuesti [...]
The Institutionalisation of Participatory Singing since the 1960s in Estonia
Previous research into the social structure of participatory singing indicates its decline within modern society (e.g. Blacking 1973, Turino 2008). The present study focuses on processes in amateur singing in Estonia using the "Music in my Life" questionnaire (2022). The results show the dynamics of contemporary participatory singing, which can be characterised as institutionalisation within the context of modern society
Elava rahvalaulu juurde jõudmine
The article analyses the life and activity of Estonian ethnomusicologist and folklorist Herbert Tampere (1909-1975), as well as the research history of Estonian folk songs until 1945, also paying attention to the influence of the Estonian Folklore Archives and its head Oskar Loorits. The historical background to Tampere’s activity is the establishment of independent statehood in Estonia (1919) after Estonians had existed as an ethic minority grou…

Relying on the critical analysis of the folk song collections, which represent the heritage of Estonia's second biggest island, Hiiumaa 1 , as well as on manifold background information, the history of Hiiumaa folk song collecting (from 1832 to 1979) and the character of the singing tradition in the changing social and cultural context is drafted
Nonviolence Loves Freedom
This in-depth monograph by Guntis midchens analyses the Singing Revolution, with an emphasis on the role of singing in violent resistance.The process in the Baltic states in the late 1980s was unusual as, first, three small countries managed to secede from the empire and, second, the independence movement proceeded as a sequence of nonviolent music events, such as song festivals, folklore festivals, but also as a singing human wall confronting mi…
Setos' way to manage identities and well-being
The paper examines how the tiny ethno-cultural group of Setos constructs its identity in the multicultural context. The study examines the validity of three acculturation models and tests earlier findings on the relationship between identity and well-being. The results suggest that Setos have clearly adopted a multicultural identity strategy while not merging different identities, and that they have managed to separate the material well-being fro…
Development of the term and conception of the traditional music in Estonia
Primusmuusika 1 on suulises-kuuldelises traditsioonis kujunenud etniliste tunnustega muusika, samuti selle edasiarendused ning primuslikke stiile kasutav autorilooming nii primaarses kui sekundaarses funktsioonis
Traditional melody variations in Karksi parish (South-Estonia)
Estonian regilaul (a special folk song), also runo song or Kalevala-song, has developed in deep connection with language. The prosodic qualities of the language should have left traces into old recitative melodies, which are the very musical language of Estonia in its literal sense. The melody is of the descending contour like the Estonian speech intonation. (ex. *1) (ex. *2) The songs I have used in my present paper have been sung by the persons…
