[mspinney203]

Your vid is a favorite on South Africa

[GitaStreet]

This gave me goose bumps. Size does indeed matter, but so does performance :-)

[melluzi]

That is perhaps the only kind of art where we'll never see all 3 Baltic states performing together - there are no stages of such size.

I'd really like to see Estonian song festival live.

[TahiraDarkmoon]

The death toll from the Japan tsunami is 10,000 and counting... just think looking at all those people... half of these voices will never sing again =(

[Pudersepp]

@TahiraDarkmoon

Explain? I don't think there are very many Japanese in that crowd.

[johkiri]

This is simply amazing to get more than 20,000 people singing together. They really have a message for the whole World.

[johkiri]

Lähen varsti pühale reisile Aafrikasse ja olen võtnud nõuks tudvustada Eestit ja meie inimesi. Ja meil on mida ette näidata ! Kas pole?!

[78crabat]

olen kuulanud seda energiat nüüd juba teist päeva järjest ... enam ei nuta ... esimene päev ainult nutsin seda kuulates......nüüdtuleb energia .........kui vaid oleks võimalus suhelda Temaga....kasvõi korraks

[Tanthango]

@78crabat Miski pärast on kord keegi ammustel aegadel hakkanud peale suruma inimesele mõtet, et tema on patune ning ära lõigatud jumalast. Tundes seda kõrgemat vibratatsiooni eneses, näiteks läbi selle teose, oledki kõige otsesemalt temaga - see on headus ning seda tunnet proovides mõelda/kujutada, juhtub imelisi asju nii sinu kui meie kõigi ümber. Niisiis - laulupidu on omamoodi meie panus enese hingele kui kogu maakerale.

Estonia Tallinn I was singing There

[musicandosaberes]

Beautiful. I learnt from these Song of the Baltic Countries from 2 good friends from Latvia and Lithuania. God Bless the Baltic Countries for they deserve it.

[kewiflute]

beautiful!

[davidartpins]

Meu Reino , o lugar da minha alma, antes do exilio SALVE SALVE SALVE

[sugarboy321]

It sounds beautiful

[Devoraak]

In the world of globalism anonymity isn't so bad. I wish I could say the same about my beloved United States. We were born a republic and will die an empire. Esti forever.

[Devoraak]

Urmas, I will never have the pleasure of meeting you. But know that men know you. Your tiny country is the canary in the mine of civilization. Although the west offers money, resist.

[megu321boom]

多くの人々の心が一つに成った思いです。たいへん、素晴らしい歌­声ですね。感動です。

[fcalbrecht]

Very nice, greetings from Latvija :)

[porbello9]

Very nice song :) minu nimi on Danny from UK, Head aega. Sorry my estonian isnt very good

[patukott]

Hi palcika. Are you interested in Estonian music:) ?

[cezig]

Merveilleux !!

[cahartley7]

From the first few bars I played of this song I fell in love with it, ordered a book of Sisask's music, have recorded it and sung it numerous times. I can barely listen to this beautiful song without tearing.

[Greysmith1]

Is there a DVD of this that I can buy?

[helpyourself1st]

@Greysmith1

yes, you can ;)

[freelight61]

tulen ja laulan 4.+5. juuli 2009 ka ! olen väga õnnelik!

i`m verry happy about, that i could sing in this geratest songefstival in 2009 with so much nice singing Estonians!

[Rahvasaadik]

I would like to make it clear that there are NO "Baltic Song Festivals" . There is ONLY Estonian Song Festival. Now, since Estonia has become more integrated into the international relationships with other countries, the numbers of foreign singers has been growing, BUT, there is no such similar event no-where else in the world. Not in Lithuania, not in Latvia. Nowhere.

[dryoles]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is at least a Latvian Song Festival. Not sure about Lithuania, but I imagine something similar is there also. Yes, our tradition is very beautiful, but it's not that unique. Remember, we all sang for our freedom.

[signezelte]

Yeah. In Latvia we have song festival, that we call ''Dziesmu svētki'' :D

PS. Greetings from Latvia. :P

[magnus0c]

Yeah, theres other song festivals also.I might be wrong, but i do believe, that estonian ones are the biggest and most celebrated. Origins of this event come from germany, though.

[Amayiuki]

Rahvasaadik, I don't know if you really think like that or you're only trying to make foreign people think so, but anyhow you are very wrong.Of course there are song festivals in Lithuania and Latvia. And we'll have a Song festival, dedicated to the millenium of Lithuania this year.

By the way,remember Gaudeamus. It's the festival of students from BALTIC countries, and it's held in Latvia and Lithuania, too. Well, I bet you've never sang in such an event, otherwise you would know that.

[stellingur]

Not just Estonians, Lithuanians and Latvians! I am Icelandic too and I was there on the top left singing the alto :D only 16 years old but it was unforgettable! Nice to be able to see it !

[JuhaStump]

Ein Klang wie der Chor der Erlösten in Jesus Christus im Himmel.

A sound like the choir of the redeemed ones in Jesus Christ in Heaven.

[freelight61]

"püha" bedeutet meines (spärlichen) Wissens so viel wie "heilig"

und das kommt für mein Gefühl nicht nur mit Worten, sondern auch durch die Musik rüber!

[CharlesALindbergh]

The most beautiful thing about these amazing Baltic song festivals is the massive crowds of both singers and audience...who are ALL Estonians, or Latvians, or Lithuanians! The way our lands once, so recentl, were. They were OUR lands exclusively, as they once again must be if our European peoples are to survive forever.

[mariakhar]

Ummm... I am one of the 20000 people singing there, and I'm Icelandic..

[sand333er]

I sang this song in church :D

[Alvesgirl101]

This is amazing to have a country of people singing together. It gives hope that we can all one day follow in their footsteps. Music is freedom

[edition49]

thanks in the name of Urmas Sisask for the comment! All the best for you

[JuhaStump]

This master piece is so unique that it should be spread over the whole world. I can do my part to realize that, because I am able to make translations of such works into not less than 30 languages, also into Finnish (I myself am half a Finn), Russian, Ancient and Modern Greek. So I have already done the same work with the famous Sarastro aria "O Isis and Osiris...", but with my own text. Are you interested? If yes, I would be very happy if I could hear soon from you and Urmas Sisask himself.

[joeyjojo4]

Bravo. Thanks.

[domramalaja]

'Sanctus' was on the programme for one of the Nordic-Baltic choir festivals and it is among the most beautiful pieces of choir music I know and I love singing it. Seeing it being performed in Tallinn is marvellous and it brings back a lot of memories.

[edition49]

In the name of Urmas Sisask thanks for your comment

[Devoraak]

It's not ironic that one of the smallest countries in the world has the most beautiful of national expressions. There is not a free soul on earth who does not have an affection for this people.

[leukrotta]

Unfortunately, there are. Most free souls do not even know we exist, and most of those who know could not care less.

[theatom2000]

Magnificent, thank's for this great moment.

[patukott]

Püha, Püha on Issand,

Püha on vägede Jumal.

Õnnistatud olgu, kes tuleb Issanda nimel,

Hosianna kõrges.

Best, Patukott

[jcardas]

I am searching lyrics for this song

[patukott]

Well the text is the classical Sanctus, translated into Estonian. Hope you`ll be able to find it.

[Greysmith1]

Using the WordMonkey translator, I was able to come up, very roughly, with these 3 phrases that were used in the song:

Püha, Püha, Püha on Issand

Püha on ??? Jumal

Taevas ja maa on täis sinu au

Hosianna kõrgeis

Õnnistatud on ta kes tuleb Issanda nimel

Hosianna kõrgeis

I believe that there are errors in each one of the phrases, however, judging from the phonetics of it.

Any help from someone who speaks Estonian would be appreciated.

Thanks.

[hollabooiers]

That's a really good translation, kudos. :D I think it's "püha on vägede jumal" and the third one sounds like "õnnistatud -olgu-, kes tuleb Issanda nimel", but other than that, what you've got looks great!

[hollabooiers]

Wait and probably "kõrges" instead of "kõrgeis". Now it should be all good.

[tiffunso]

Laulupidu

[Halooverlord]

what is this?

[Vabapaase]

That is Estonia my friend.
