Estonian Choral Composer

Veljo Tormis was a renowned Estonian composer, widely recognized for his choral music, who made a significant impact on the choral tradition of the 20th century. Born on August 7, 1930, in Kuusalu, Estonia, he developed an affinity for the traditional music of his homeland and the surrounding Finno-Ugric regions. Tormis's compositions often drew upon ancient folk songs and chants, which he integrated into contemporary choral settings. His work is characterized by its deep connection to nature and Estonian identity, as well as its use of repetitive structures and evocative soundscapes.
