One of my favorite records. This little ep might appeal to fans of Carl Orff/Gunild Keetman Schulwerk records, or the Estonian jazz-folk-pop group Collage. A man with a neck beard named Veljo Tormis is at the helm. I don't think the record explicitly follows Orffian principles, but it sounds very similar -- lots of mallet instruments and singing in rounds. Cool medieval Baltic folk for the bellbottom set. Teeme Muusikat translates as something like "let's play music."
Nice!!! I'm loving ur blog...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback!
ReplyDeleteTremendous blog you have. I look foRWARD to hearing this, since I rate Tormis highly (I know him in his 'serious' composer mode)
ReplyDeleteOoh, cool. Tormis' epic double album of Baltic folk songs on ECM is a particular favourite.
