Each and every thing created by man may turn against man himself when used without respect for the living. The magical rite is performed to restrain the evil hiding inside iron. Thus the describing and explaining of the birth of iron to iron itself forms a part of the shamanic process. The idea of the composition derives from shamanism: in order to acquire power over a material or immaterial thing, one communicates knowledge to the object. I combined those elements with modern choral techniques. The idea of Raua Needmine (‘Curse Upon Iron,’ 1972) was on my mind for years before I found a perfect form for it in an enchanting repetitive ostinato accompanied by a shamanic drum. Here is the composer’s description of the piece: It’s music filled with ancient, primal sounds emerging out of the Shaman’s drum. Veljo Tormis’ most famous work may be Raua Needmine (“Curse Upon Iron”), written in 1972. Here is Rota Dziesma (“Spring Song”) from Tormis’ six Latvian Bourdon Songs: A simple, repeated folk melody is joined by other voices, forming an overlapping, melodic loop: Its text reflects on the process of learning to sing as a child, a frequent theme in Estonian folk music, according to Tormis. Lauliku Lapsepoli (“The Songster’s Childhood”) was written in 1966 during Soviet occupation of Estonia and later became part of a five-song cycle. To me, folk music is not a means of self-expression on the contrary, I feel the need to express the essence of folk music, its spirit, meaning and form. Veljo Tormis described the influence of Estonian folksongs on his work this way: His music played a role in the revolutionary movement for Estonian independence from the Soviet Union. (The documentary, The Singing Revolution, chronicles the spontaneous, overnight, mass singing demonstrations which unfolded at the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds in June, 1988). Tormis’ music, deeply rooted in the ancient Estonian folk tradition, includes more than 500, mostly a cappella, choral compositions. The prolific Estonian composer Veljo Tormis passed away last Saturday.
