Musicology Annotation << Back Runo Singers of Elias Lonnrot Valentina I. Moiseeva This article offers a more thorough description of runo singers who Elias met during his folk tours. So far the information about them has been kept in scattered native sources, and in a more complete form, in M. Haavio’s book «The lattermost runo singers». The author has collected all known information and references about performers of folk songs and runos, who Lonnrot mentioned in his diaries, letters and reports for Finnish Literature Society. This publication appears to be a great value for ethnomusicologists, ethnographers and students who learn Karelian Finnish musical culture. Also the article allows to supplement the prevailing representation about life and art of the outstanding Finnish scientist, poet, linguist, folklorist of the 19th century, the author of Karelian Finnish epos «Kalevala» Elias Lonnrot. Keywords: Elias Lonnrot, Mateli Kuivalatar, Uhana Kainulainen, Arhippa Pertunen, runo singers of Voinitsa. Contacts: E-mail: yalovemois2712@mail.ru Pp. 11-16.
