Tormis has written more than 200 choral works, an opera, a ballet/cantata, thirty film scores, vocal and instrumental chamber music, solo songs, and several orchestral pieces. Educated at the Tallinn and Moscow Conservatories, Tormis has integrated the techniques of 20th-century art music with the melodies of the regilaul or ancient Estonian folksong. This is the first book in a Western language about a master of 20th-century choral music. The book includes chapters on Estonian history (Tormis's music helped inspire the national independence movement), the regilaul, and the Estonian choral tradition, followed by the biography and discussion of major works. Also included ia an article by a leading Estonian scholar as well as an article by and an interview with Tormis, all of which appear for the first time in English. A works list, CD discography, glossary of names, and CD of sound examples conclude this volume by musicologist and choral conductor Mimi S. Daitz. It will interest scholars of contemporary music, the general music public, and persons concerned with Soviet cultural history. 600 10 Tormis, Veljo, |d1930-2017 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A583063 650 0 Composers |zEstonia |vInterviews. |=^A15202 700 1 Tormis, Veljo, |d1930-2017 |=^A583063 830 0 Dimension & diversity ; |vno. 3. |=^A394264 994 X0 |bERE 596 3 998 972130
