Joseph Alanen (1885-1920), 'Ilmatar', 1913-1916
"In the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, Ilmatar was a virgin spirit and goddess of the air.
The name Ilmatar is derived from the Finnish word ilma, meaning "air," and the female suffix -tar, corresponding to English "-ress". Thus, her name means Airress. In the Kalevala she was also occasionally called Luonnotar, which means "female spirit of nature" (Finnish luonto, "nature").
She was impregnated by the sea and wind and thus became the mother of Väinämöine (..."a demigod, hero and the central character in Finnish folklore and the main character in the national epic Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot.")

Kalevala laulettuna (Kalevala sung) is a channel by Sipo Herva and Lauri Palomäki, who aim to sing and record all of the Kalevala.
Subtitles are available in Finnish (so you can sing along if you want to!) and English. This is the first poem of the Kalevala, detailing the creation of the world and birth of Väinämöinen.
Ilmatar (featured in the first poem) by Joseph Alanen
The folk poetry the Kalevala is based on was always sung in the same metre.
The poetry was often sung to music built on a pentachord, sometimes assisted by a kantele player. The rhythm could vary but the music was arranged in either two or four lines in quintuple metre. The poems were often performed by a duo, each person singing alternative verses or groups of verses. This method of performance is called an antiphonic performance, it is a kind of “singing match”.
The Kalevala's metre is a form of trochaic tetrameter that is now known as the Kalevala metre. The metre is thought to have originated during the Proto-Finnic period. Its syllables fall into three types: strong, weak, and neutral.
