摘要：One of the results of the rapid modernisation of Estonian society in thesecond half of the nineteenth century was the change in singing culture: the oldersinging style, regilaul, which represents the Kalevala-metric song tradition, wasgradually replaced by the newer end-rhymed singing style. The article analysesthis change by focusing on the performances of two female singers from centralEstonia, representatives of different generations. The main research sources arefolklore texts and memoirs written down by the younger singer Marie Sepp, featuring,among others, a female singer from the previous generation, Mari P鋜tens.The performativity of the singers is displayed in a cross-section of the changingperformance arenas and registers which are related either to the older or thenewer singing style. The article discusses the individuality of the two singers,as well as manifestations of gender, age, artistic creativity, and the historicalsocio-cultural context in their performativity.
