I call this composition LEMMINKAINEN’S DREAM. Lemminkainen was one of the heroes in the Finnish national epic known as the KALEVALA. The writer of The Lord Of The Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien, based much of his vision of Middle Earth on ideas and images from the Kalevala which he had read as a teenager. He liked it so much he actually learned Finnish in order to read the book in its native language, and later went on to invent a language entirely of his own (the language of the Elves called “Quenya“) which was based on Finnish.
The kantele (pronounced “kan - teh - leh“) is the national instrument of Finland and belongs to the family of instruments known as “psalteries“. The one you see in this video is a 38 string, steel strung, electric kantele. It’s magnetic pickups (which are eight inches long) were custom made by Jason Lollar for Bart Hopkin of Experimental Musical Instruments. If you are curious about them, visit Bart’s website, .
