Description

The Kalevala, or runic, songs is a tradtion at least a few thousand years old. It was shared by Finns, Estonians, and other speakers of smaller Baltic-Finnic languages inhabiting the eastern side of the Baltic Sea in North-Eaastern Europe. This book offers a combined perspective of a musicologist and a linguist to the structure of the runic songs. Archival recordings of the songs originating mostly from the first half of the 20th century were used as source material for this study. The results reveal a complex interaction between three different processes participating in singing: speech prosody, metre, and musical rhythm.
