Awesome!
Inge Richardsen thank you!
Peep Sarapik (1949-1994), composer of the song, composed the music originally for another poem by Juhan Liiv, “I Would Take a Bond of Flowers”. In the process of composing he decided in favour of another poem, “He Flies Toward the Beehive” by Juhan Liiv.
Composer Sarapik’s legacy consist of a great number of compositions for choirs (mostly for mixed and male choirs) and of some instrumental pieces (for strings and organ). He was also a dedicated conductor - he conducted the Tallinn Teachers’ Male Choir and in frame of several projects other choirs too, amongst which for the longest period the ERKI Chamber Choir - from its foundation in 1981 till his death in December 1994.
Enn Auksmann thank you!
Beautiful. This song gives me chills everytime.
Very well done.
But I'm curious, how does a canadian choir come to sing an estonian folk song?
rockyblacksmith thanks for watching! we love exploring the music of other cultures and this concert featured folk music from around the world.
rockyblacksmith thank you for your comment. We are always looking for international repertoire that speaks to everyone
There are quite a lot of estonians living in Canada.
It's not a folk song though.
