Product details
Situ Koku is a work inspired by the harmony, texture, and melody of traditional Latvian folk music.
The text is a "daina": a form of un-authored ancient Latvian poetry. Dainas often speak of various themes, including daily life, nature, marriage, war, death, drinking, and pagan religion.
This particular text speaks of the continuity of life. Countrymen work long summer days in the field, singing rhymically to pass the time. They will the sun to set, so that they can finally go home and rest. Meanwhile in the sky, the sun, moon, and stars chase eachother, but can never meet up. Everyday, the sun and moon both rise and set, as days and night continue on.
