Midsummer bonfire of Muuksi on Tsitre beach, 1974

Muuksi jaanituli Tsitre rannas, 1974

On Midsummer Eve the people of Muuksi on the north coast gathered for their bonfire on Tsitre beach, and Toivo Makk went along with a tape recorder. The swing master who ran the village swing speaks, as does composer Veljo Tormis, who had arrived with fellow composer Boris Kõrver and a group of Ukrainian composers. Between the talks the tape catches the folk songs and instrumental tunes played by the fire that night.

Jaanilaupäeval kogunesid põhjaranniku Muuksi küla inimesed Tsitre randa jaanitulele ja Toivo Makk läks magnetofoniga kaasa. Sõna saavad kiigemeister ja helilooja Veljo Tormis, kes oli tulnud koos Boris Kõrveri ja Ukraina heliloojatega. Juttude vahel on lindile jäänud rahvalaulud ja pillilood, mis sel ööl lõkke ääres kõlasid.
