Publisher Johann Voldemar Jannsen initiated the Song Celebration as part of the Estonian national awakening movement. Simple peasants discovered that their traditions can be part of high culture. His daughter, Lydia Koidula was the author of lyrics for two Estonian songs \u201cSind surmani\u201d and \u201cMu isamaa on minu arm\u201d that are still in the Song Celebration repertoire today. She was also involved with the preparations of the scores and fund raising \u2013 quite an unusual role for a woman at that time. All songs were in Estonian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\"><strong>1880<\/strong>\u2013 the Song Celebration was held in Tallinn for the first time. A year later Finland arranged the first nation-wide song and music celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\"><strong>1891<\/strong>\u2013 in Tartu mixed choirs participated for the first time. In spite of Russian Tsar\u2019s efforts to force the domination of Russian language in public life more than half of the songs were in Estonian, among them songs by Miina H\u00e4rma, the first female composer. Singers spontaneously tuned into today\u2019s Estonian anthem \u201cMu isamaa, mu \u00f5nn ja r\u00f5\u00f5m\u201d by Fredrik Pacius. In the years to come choir singing remained the only cultural activity in Estonian as the Russian emperor required all official matters and education to be handled in Russian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\"><strong>1894\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 for the first time choirs from Estonian settlements in Russia participated at the celebration in Tartu. Pacius\u2019 anthem was sung again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\"><strong>1910<\/strong>\u2013 the Celebration was held in Tallinn with children\u2019s choirs among the performers for the first time. Mihkel L\u00fcdig, whose \u201cKoit\u201d (Dawn) is the standard opener today, was the artistic director of a celebration with a complicated repertoire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1869&nbsp;\u2013 the first Estonian Song Celebration was held in Tartu with 878 male singers and brass players.
