Novel sounds, authenticity of traditions and closeness to nature characterise the art of Veljo Tormis—a fervent ode to endangered cultures, captured here in a magnetic musical and visual journey, in the company of shamans, into the Finno-Ugric landscape.

Born in 1930 and trained at the Talinn Conservatoire, Veljo Tormis always focused on choral music, magnifying and recreating the folklore of his native Estonia, not unlike Zoltán Kodály did in Hungary. His harmonic colours and secret polyphonies cast traditional material in a new light, although the folk inspirations he draws from can also be heard authentically in his work, such as regilaul, the Estonian runo song.

The Forgotten Peoples project has a dual aim, both cultural and ecological: accompanied by projected images, it seeks to evoke the little-known or forgotten Finno-Ugric landscapes and peoples. Guided by a magician of sound and voice, we discover the Lives, the Votes, the Izhorians, the Ingrians, the Veps, the Carelians, and their sometimes pastoral, sometimes tragic histories.

English

Sonorités inouïes, authenticité des traditions et proximité avec la nature caractérisent l’art de Veljo Tormis, chantre fervent des cultures menacées : un magnétique voyage musical et visuel, en compagnie des chamanes, dans l’espace finno-ougrien.

Né en 1930 et formé au Conservatoire de Talinn, Veljo Tormis a toujours privilégié la musique chorale, magnifiant et recréant, un peu à la manière de Zoltán Kodály en Hongrie, le folklore de son Estonie natale. Couleurs harmoniques et polyphonies secrètes viennent chez lui s’emparer du matériau populaire, qu’il fait cependant entendre également dans toute son âpre authenticité, comme par exemple le regilaul, ou « chant runique » estonien.

Accompagné d’images projetées, le projet Forgotten Peoples se donne pour mission, à la fois culturelle et écologique, d’évoquer des espaces et des peuples finno-ougriens méconnus, voire oubliés. Partons donc à la découverte des Lives, des Votes, des Izhoriens, des Ingriens, des Vespes, des Caréliens, aux accents tantôt tragiques, tantôt pastoraux, d’un magicien du son et de la voix !
