The melody which was originally played by the Konevitsa Abbey church bells. This is very sentimental and dear to all Finns. I love to play this tune on guitar. The Konevitsa Abbey was destroyed during the Stalin's persecutions, and the church bells silenced forever. But the legacy remains.
As a Hungarian, it brings an unique beauty and perspective to listen to such a magnificent melody. It is like hearing the language of the Finns for the first time, you know that you are connected to it somehow, some ancient way, but can't really find the answer for the "why" and "how". Either way, it was a pleasure for my ears to experience such a tasteful playing. Vainamöinen would be proud of you! Thank you, and greetings from a Hungarian.

This is Karelian music. When the Karelians were forced to leave their homes because of the Soviet army, they were treated in the western Finland as the Russkies.

Just happened, I found an incredibly beautiful performance of gusli, when was typed in the search slavic music and I was shown an unique performance on slavic gusli (helmet-sharped psaltery) by one russian guslar Kirill Bogomilov. I was incredibly inspired by it's performance and at his youtube channel I learned that it turns out there is an gusli ancient slavic tradition but gusli was banned in Russia for more than 200 years and was burned at the stake in the middle ages as a magical devilish instrument! Unbelievably!!! I've never heard anything about it before, and now I've found your channel with music on this amazing instrument. Thank you so much for this perfomance!
I found Kirill Bogomilov's perfomance on gusli here ruclips.net/video/aF6yLNl9OUs/видео.html Thank you very much for the hint! It's really interesting and informative for me. My relatives were from Russia and that's probably why I really like this music instrument.
I also didn't know about this music instrument before. But as I listened to this I started to cry. It was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us!
i have studied decades of martial arts, espesically shotokan karate, very traditional style, if i say. im a finn. Does not matter, when you hear so gentle, thinkin? sound.. Don´t you think anyways, that water is near? flowing.. i wish that my would still here
The best part is that this instrument is not even that big by kantele standards! There are ones that have triple the amount of strings :D Kantele is my favourite instrument - i love Finnish folk songs!
Hey! what a coincidence man! I'm from Smolensk, and also live in Canada now)))) I know for sure that some of my ancestors are estonian, but about finnish i am not sure-hope so though)).
I love, love, love this song - so beautiful and mesmerizing, and so well played on this wonderful instrument. Does anyone know where I can find piano sheet music for it? I would be most grateful.
The Russian word for a similar instrument, in fact, is "gusli", the Baltic names "kanklės" (lt), "kokle" (lv) are definitely cognate, but it's not obvious which way they went. There's been a lot of cultural exchange between the Baltic, Finnic and Slavic tribes. Agriculture definitely came from the south, Finnish words for rye, beans, peas, plough, axe have Indo-European origins. The instrument itself is far from unique, read the wikipedia article for Zither.
@CityKanin The biggest concert kanteles have up to 40 strings which is only 2 strings more than she is playing thus your "triple the amount" is quite incorrect. Toisin sanoen älä suurentele asioita, aiheuttaa vain nolostumista pitkällä juoksulla.
Japanese have a similar instrument, too. And many others. And many words are loans back and forh. Even from as far as Sanskrit. Vajra = vasara = hammer. That was not my point.
@kaubri Ahum. Kantele, or in its older form kannel is Fenno-Ugric. Balts, Prussians and Russians share a roughly similar term for it. Which is no surprise, as whole Kievan Rus was ruled and founded by Varangians, meaning eastbound Vikings and Finns. As for "western Russians", most of the original ones (as in ethnic Finns) were killed, like 350000 Karelians. But never mind that, just enjoy the music.
@@HistoricAntiqueMusic I can't find the bells playing the melody. according to another commenter the konevitsa monestary's church bells were destroyed around the 1940's, so I don't think a recording exists
Guy Richardson This is a 38-string concert kantele, probably made by Koistinen in Finland. I think you should first stick to making the 5- or 10-string kantele. They make even larger kanteles, you know...

Kyllä on kappaleen paras sovitus minkä olen kuullut. Siinä sielun johdattamat sormet hellivät kanteletta. Henkevää. Mitsuko Sato on nero.
Upea musiikki...! kiitos 🙏
I love how you respect our traditional instrument, and old song..
It warms my heart just to see how Your fingers dance..
Thank You!
Originally, the Finnish tone that rings the monastery of Europe's largest Ladoga lake over the ancient times. Melody is a very sentimental Finns.

Haunting and enchanting. I've never heard a kantele before, and now I want to own one.
Grant this performer the honorary citizenship of Finland, it's well deserved...
Kiitos.
This sounds SO BEAUTIFUL. I didn't know about the existence of this instrument. It's incredible.
i love that you love our music.. i see that you have your whole spirit and soul within, and so gently you play..! Thank You!

I love the sound of the slavic gusli and kantele. It has a sound that reverberates and blows through my mind like wind running through leaves.
Beautiful and mesmerizing!
Hieno tulkinta klassikosta.
Thank you!
This kantele player is my kantele teacher!
Sinun sormissasi asuvat runot! Miten ne saavatkaan kanteleen soimaan!
Many thanks. I love the calming effect of the kantele.
❤❤❤ preciosa melodía triste
This is so beautiful
If I understood, the mand, was Japanese, what ever, finish or japanis, what ever, I really like'd that.
Last time I heard this was at school quite a few years ago. Beautiful.
Konevitsa Monastery bells tolling ... Leaves you speechless.
Karelia...so distant, yet so close...yesterday and today as one, memories that will never be undone...
this song gives me chills down my spine
I love you.. This is fantastic!

Kylläpä on todellakin hyvä esitys.
Light and fairy feeling in this version.
Most interesting version I’ve heard for kantele-instrument.
beautiful!
you are a master.

Well damn, I could easily see this playing as a town music in a game like Diablo.
More like Van Helsing or something. Diablo is too Catholic for this.
Belíssima música!!
perfect..
Fabulous!
ite oon 10 ja soitan 36kielistä oot kyllä todella hyvä👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Sari Holappa ite soitan 39 kielistä konserttikokoista sähkö kannelta❤️😅
I wish I could have one... Although I don't know how to play it.
It would be awesome!!!
The sound of kantele really relaxes me!
Who dislikes these videos? This is amazing
I like the melancholic melody starting at 0:54 somewhere. Really breathetaking...
This instrument is so cool. I want to buy myself one so much...
The best part is that this instrument is not even that big by kantele standards! There are ones that have triple the amount of strings :D Kantele is my favourite instrument - i love Finnish folk songs!

Music of the spheres! Truly heavenly music.
it is no wonder it was the chosen instrument of a god.
Seems like I'm discovering a cool new instrument every other month.
+Talyn McFarlane MS is a genious.
very very VERY nice version of the song, you totally own that instrument!
Impressive bass sound
ohw wow! really messes with my feelers!!!

Aina itken kun kuuntelen tätä.miksi?

Do you know that "kantele" (lute) is a word from the dead old prussian language?
What type of Kantele is this, im trying to find plans to build one :/ All the plans so far are fro 5 string and 10 string, i want lots of strings.
