	RILM Conference: Music's Intellectual History
		Analyzing earlier entries about the choral conductor and composer Gustav Ernesaks (1908-93) in several international music dictionaries, I was somewhat upset by the divergence of those concise portraits from my own ideas about the most important ways to represent him.
		The case of Ernesaks can be used for demonstrating some problems that confront researchers in their work with sources reflecting musical life and reception history, but it also reveals the shaping force of the tradition of writing upon its subject.
		As a result, this charismatic leader of the masses (as Ernesaks was, according to his colleagues, students, and singers) and author of many ingenious but short and simple songs, is predominantly characterized by listing his high titles, state prizes, official posts, and five (forgotten) operas.

		The traditional opening and finishing songs, Mihkel Lüdig's "Dawn" and Gustav Ernesaks' "My Homeland is My Love" have acquired an almost liturgical function.
		Just like a leader of the choral movement of the "awakening period", the "father of song", Ernesaks (1908-1993), played a double role as well - acting as a tool of alien powers and the general head of song festivals for more than four decades.
		Along with the development of a cultural intelligentsia and during the relaxing of political pressure, the musical standard of the festivals became predominant.

		One by one, the conductors were called to the front of the theater where medals and oak leaf wreaths were placed around their necks.
		They were presented with blue cornflowers (the national flower) and the whole assemblage joined in the country’s unofficial national anthem, Ernesaks’ “Mu isamaa on minu arm” (My Fatherland is My Love) a song of protest sung at Soviet era festivals (“they sat, we cried,” said Klas, recalling Song Festivals from his childhood).
		There was a brief shower of fireworks, sparks flew from a giant spinning wheel on the wall adjoining the theater and in a final act of exuberance, several conductors, including Klas, were tossed into the air.

		Ernesaks set the premiere for the end of the year; the composer traveled to Tallinn to assist in the rehearsals and attend the first performance on 5 December 1970.
		Fay informs us that the cycle's evidently surprised dedicatee, Tallinn choirmaster Gustav Ernesaks (and not, we note, V. Lenin), "had learned that Shostakovich was writing a major work [sic] for men's chorus from the newspaper and was flattered by the composer's unexpected attention".
		According to Fay, "Ernesaks set the premiere for the end of the year".

		A good example is "Mu isamaa on minu arm", music by Gustav Ernesaks, lyrics by Lydia Koidula, that during the occupation years became an unofficial anthem for the Estonians, and which, performed by joined choirs to the standing audience, ended every Song Festival.
		The singers, musicians, conductors and composers with Gustav Ernesaks at the head, became, in a way, the "representatives" of the nation embodying Estonia's best attempts.
		In 1988, with the Song Festival as a role model, began the so called "singing revolution" when hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the Song Festival Grounds to make political demands and sing patriarchal songs.

		Gustav Ernesaks (1908 — 1993) ei mahu ikka veel hästi sõnadesse, tema tegevuse haare oli lai ja isiksus hämmastavalt rikas, tema tegude mõju kestab.
		Gustav Ernesaksa Fondi kolm aastastipendiumi said sel korral Vaike Uibopuu (TÜ Akadeemiline Naiskoor ja -vilistlaskoor, Elleri kooli õpetaja — põhistipendium, elutöö eest), Maimu Sirel (Elva poiste-ja naiskoor, stipendium koorimuusika edendamise eest) ja Risto Joost (EMA magistrant, õppestipendium).
		Ernesaks pühendus tööle a cappella meeskooriga, veendumusega, et just “meeste laulus on lüürikat, tugevat dramatismi, õrnust ja ürgjõulist monumentaalsust” (G. E.), ning soovis jõuda täiusliku koorilauluni, enda sõnul “helivärvide sügavuse ja täiuseni”.

	Estonia Language and Culture
		Song festivals still were held continuously, often providing a popular outlet for national feeling.
		In the place of the banned national anthem, the song My Fatherland Is My Love, based on a poem by Lydia Koidula and music by composer and conductor Gustav Ernesaks, became Estonians' de facto an-them.
		During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Estonian culture again felt some of the cold drafts of official control, but by 1986 the influence of glasnost began to stir cultural activity anew, this time far into the realm of politics.

	NationalAnthems.us Online Forum - Estonia: Mu isamaa on minu arm
		It is an extremely popular patriotic song that the people used as a kind of an unofficial substitute for a national anthem during the years of the Soviet occupation.
		The song was officially tolerated by the Soviet authorities, perhaps because the composer Gustav Ernesaks was well known and highly respected by everyone in Estonia.
		Many of the All-Estonian Song Festivals during the Soviet era had this song as an absolute hilight when all the choirs (almost always conducted by Gustav Ernesaks himself) and the audience, sometimes more than 100.000 people, performed the song together.
