Songs of Coastal Folk at Swedish St. Michael’s Church 2011
Location:
Pirita convent chapel, Swedish St. Michael’s Church in Tallinn, Rannamõisa Church & Viimsi St. Jacob’s Church
Date:
Sunday, 11 September 2011
On the first two Sundays in September, the band Heinavanker will travel to four of Harju County’s seaside churches to perform folk songs from coastal villages. The show has been put together to reflect the fact that both Tallinn and Turku are Capitals of Culture, so the cultural heritage of Finland and Sweden will also be represented.
While the mystical energy of the runic song tradition expresses the bond between Estonians and Finns, Estonian folk choirs are just as unique a practice, shared between the locals and the western coast’s Swedish settler community. Since the dawn of time, coastal folk have braved the winds and the waves to deliver important messages across the sea, longing for a permanent connection. This millennia-old dream will come true when Heinavanker’s folk show brings together the runic songs from the north and south coasts of the Gulf of Finland.
Heinavanker Ensemble
Heinavanker (the Haywain) is a vocal ensemble the activity of which is inspired by older sacred music. The ensemble has got its name after the famous altarpiece of Hieronymos Bosch (1453-1516). This rare piece of art represents a huge waggonload of hay rolling through the world vexed by agony and greed towards destruction. However, atop the hayload there sounds beautiful music. Does the seething below ghastly dream really fail to reach it?...
