Song festival jubilee at Tamme stadium, Tartu, 1989

Laulupidude 120. juubel Tartu Tamme staadionil, 1989

The first Estonian song festival was held in Tartu in 1869. For its 120th anniversary in June 1989, in the middle of the Singing Revolution, a jubilee festival gathered choirs at Tartu's Tamme stadium. This hour of the radio's live coverage follows the men's choirs: songs to words by Lydia Koidula, among them 'Sind surmani', and Mulgimaa and folk-song settings, while reporters talk about the song-festival tradition and the conductors between pieces.

Eesti keeles

Esimene Eesti laulupidu peeti Tartus 1869. aastal. Selle 120. aastapäeval 1989. aasta juunis, keset laulvat revolutsiooni, kogunesid koorid juubelipeole Tartu Tamme staadionile. See tund raadio otseülekandest jälgib meeskoore: kõlavad laulud Lydia Koidula sõnadele, nende seas „Sind surmani“, ning rahvalaulu seaded, reporterid aga räägivad laulude vahel laulupeotraditsioonist ja dirigentidest.
