Episode 26: Muusika - a tribute to the incredible experience of singing in an Estonian choir ❤️

Muusika Music by Part Uusberg Poem by Juhan Liiv (1864-1913) English Translation by Peter Lohuaru Somewhere there must be the first harmonic sound, somewhere in the vastness of nature, hidden. It is in its mighty spread and breadth, in the distances between galaxies, it’s in the brilliance of the sun, in small flowers, in the breezes through forests, in a mother’s voice speaking the music of the heart, or in the water of tears. Somewhere there must be immortality. Somewhere the first harmonic sound exists. How else into the heart of a person could it have arrived as music? * * * * I will only add that if you would like to see and hear these songs performed, search youtube (or other) for “eesti laulupidu”. The Estonian songs included in this episode that you can then search for include: Muusika, Puudutus, Tuljak, Rīga dimd, Emakeelelaul, Ta lendab mesipuu poole, Mu isamaa on minu arm. There are many more incredibly beautiful songs here to listen too as well - in joy, enjoy! p.s. I misspeak in the intro, saying that the 2019 songfest was the 150th - rather it celebrates the first having been 150 years earlier in 1869.
