Recenzii
“For Finnish-American musicians, or Finnish Americans interested in their own cultural heritage, this work is of generational importance. For English-language scholars interested in Finnish, Finnish-American, or Upper Midwestern musical traditions, this work is of similarly outstanding value.”—Tim Frandy, Western Kentucky University
“The translators have not only produced English translations, but also admirably, painstakingly, elegantly offered singable translations matching the originals’ ineffable sense and spirit.”—James P. Leary, University of Wisconsin–Madison
“In translating these songs, the editors have discovered deeper meanings and the significant cultural contexts of the songs. It makes it possible for these songs to be performed again on both sides of the Atlantic, bringing back reflections of immigrant life. The result is something far more than a mere tunebook. It is one of the best scholarly books on Finnish American music and sheds considerable light on American ethnic music in general.”—Notes
“Provides a rare window to the rich past of songs and life which cannot be reached in any other way. I am convinced that this book will be an adventure to everyone who takes it for a closer look.”—Journal of Finnish Studies
