Estonia, a Finnic nation previously part of the Soviet empire, has a rich communal singing tradition dating to the 12th century. It also has repertoire for its indigenous instruments such as the torupill (bagpipe) and the plucked kannel (a kantele in Finland), both now experiencing a post-Soviet revival. We shall explore traditional songs or tunes, some arranged as solos, some with additional parts for duos or small groups. You will need a capo.
