The lion’s share of research work is integrated with providing university education.

  • The Quantitative Structure of Estonian Syllabic-Accentual Trochaic Tetrameter
    TRAMES, 2013, 17(67/62), 3, 243–272 THE QUANTITATIVE STRUCTURE OF ESTONIAN SYLLABIC-ACCENTUAL TROCHAIC TETRAMETER Maria-Kristiina Lotman and Mihhail Lotman University of Tartu, Tallinn University Abstract. The paper contains the first attempt to analyze the quantitative structure of the Estonian literary syllabic-accentual verse; it has never been posed as an issue before. The analysis comprised 20 prominent authors and more than 9000 verse lines. In order to find out which regularities are specific to poetry in general or to a particular poet, these data were compared to that of pseudotrochees extracted from prose. The performed study showed that, first, quantity plays important role as well in syllabic-accentual verse, the indices of verse being considerably different from that of pseudoverse. Second, the tendencies in quantitative structure are in good correlation with that in accentual rhythm. Third, just like in the case of accentual rhythm, the quantitative rhythm allows the clear distinction between two groups of poets, whom we conditionally call Traditionalists and Modernists. Keywords: Estonian verse, trochaic tetrameter, syllabic-accentual verse, Estonian quantity, statistical analysis DOI: 10.3176/tr.2013.3.03 1. Problem In the syllabic-accentual verse, first, the number of syllables, and second, the placement of accent are relevant. Whether only the main stresses matter, as in Jaak Põldmäe’s approach (1978) or different degrees of stress are to be distinguished (compare Lotman and Lotman 2007, 2011), is not significant in this case. On the other hand, in the syllabic-quantitative system, it is not the disposition of stresses, but the quantities that are relevant.

    Vance D. Wolverton Chair Emeritus, Department of Music California State University, Fullerton [email protected] MART SAAR ESTONIAN COMPOSER & POET Consolidating the Past, Initiating the Future Vance D. Wolverton art Saar (1882-1963) was one of the most important Estonian Mcomposers of art music, espe- cially choral music, of the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. He lived and composed through a period of exponential political changes in Estonia—not altogether unlike the upheaval accompanying the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990/91—including the fi rst period of independence (1918-1939), the fi rst period of Soviet occupation (1939-1941), the Nazi occupation (1941-1944), and nearly half of the second period of Soviet occupation (1944- 1991). It is common knowledge that the Soviets strongly discouraged participation in religious observations and activities, including the com- position of sacred music. It is also clear that such signifi cant disruptions to the political fabric of the nation were bound to infl uence all aspects of society, including music. Mart Saar lived and composed through these momentous times, and his compositions are refl ective of them. CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 57 Number 5 41 MART SAAR ESTONIAN COMPOSER & POET The Musical and Poetic Voice organist. He also edited the music journal “Muusikaleht.” of a Generation From 1943 to 1956, Saar was a professor of composition Along with his contemporary, Cyrillus Kreek (1889- at the Tallinn Conservatory. 1962), Mart Saar is considered one of the founders of Estonian professional music and its national style, espe- cially in the fi eld of choral music.
