şimdiye kadar dinlediğim en güzel kantele parçası bu. O Kalevala destanını da çok merak ediyordum, ilintili olması ayrıca güzel oldu. Teşekkürler, tebrikler.
These modern instruments aren't really kanteles. They're just harps with a sound box. Kantele, traditionally, has only 5 strings, and by stopping some you get only the chords for Kalevala, or by picking the strings you get some other songs. Three chords at most.
@Simpson654 The definition for it is broader then that and in no way does the amount of strings play part in the definition as even traditionally, they ranged from 5 to 15, high tension, strings. Trough development of the instrument that has expanded to amounts of even 40 strings and a felt stopping bar as can be seen in the video. Which is by distinction, called a concert kantele.
When I listen it,I feel something I cant tell,It's like..stg in my brain dramasitation the War scenes,dead people and their stories..Ruins..hungry people and their childs..crying...fathers come home dead...mums crying childs crying...knights fighting for their bigs with honor...IDK..stg like that
As a folk singer my heart cries of happiness for something this beautiful, thank you! Upean herkkää ja tunteikasta soittoa, soittanet syntyperäisen suomalaisen veroisesti...
If you're interested, I'd like to tell some facts. This song (a Finnish trad. song from Karelia) is called "Varjele vakainen luoja". It's a poem in Kanteletar, a sister epic to Kalevala. In that poem God is asked to protect the people of Finland.
This song is known with another lyrics, too. Then it's called "Kamanat kohottukohot", a poem to welcome the guests to the house of Pohjola, this time the lyrics coming from our national epic Kalevala.
Yes, it totally is a finnish song since our national epic, Kalevala, is meant to be read by singing the text with this melody. I dunno about the origins of the melody though, it could've come from abroad centuries ago. This version of it, by the way, isn't the original one. The notes go a little differently so this sounds a little bit more sad... And way more complicated. It's beautiful, though! ^_^
@SageLuka This is the original version of Kalevala and the origins are from Finland. Back in Lönrot's days, lot's of scandinavian people used to sing their stories in poems because it's much easier to remember stories if you make it into a poem, Lönrot didn't create Väinämöinen or other people and stories told in Kalevala, he listened the poems, wrote them down and published them in a book which he named Kalevala after Karjala where he heard the poems
@Sudenkorentoinen Same here:) My mom still might sing this to me when i'm feeling down or tired, and i love it ! I'm already grown up, and this song will never lose it's feel or meaning to me
