10 Estonian Folksongs for men's chorus. Composed by Veljo Tormis. Folk Eastern Europe. Book Only. Composed 2003. 37 pages. Hal Leonard Europe #SPM2301. Published by Hal Leonard Europe (BT.SPM2301).Estonian national musical expression is based on runosongs, an age-old traditional song repertoire dating back to thousand years. Mainly protective and location-devoted girls and women, who have passed it down to our times, maintained this music. These songs are sometimes called women's songs. The men, on the other hand, have always been more mobile, and traveled around either as seafarers or warriors. From distant lands they brought back different, newer tunes and other topics to sing about. This cycle presents such men's songs, a repertoire already a hundred years old.
