Summary "Kanteletar: Suomen kansan wanhoja lauluja ja wirsiä" by Elias Lönnrot is a collection of traditional Finnish songs and hymns likely compiled in the early 19th century. This work serves as a significant anthology that captures the essence and heritage of Finnish folk music and literature, reflecting the cultural expressions and emotions of the Finnish people through lyrical poetry. At the start of this compilation, the author introduces the significance of music and song in human expression, describing how these art forms convey feelings and thoughts that ordinary language cannot fully articulate. The opening also explains the different types of runos—poetic forms common to Finnish tradition—such as lauluruno (song poems) and loihturuno (charm poems), signifying their roles in societal folk practices. The initial sections include various songs that explore themes of love, loss, and longing, embodying the deep and emotional narratives that are characteristic of Finnish folk traditions.
