Debesėli pro šalį in Kaunas

Honeypaw received funding from the Lithuanian Council for Culture to present material from wax cylinders recorded by the folklorist A.R.Niemi. In 1912, Niemi travelled to several villages in Lithuania to collect archaic songs. His original plan was to conduct comparative studies of Finnic and Baltic texts, however he realized that he first had to collect and publish the very first printed examples of Lithuanian polyphonic songs, or sutartinės. In his field notes and collected writings, he began to outline texts that he believed showed the historic cultural connection. During our trip to Finland in May 2023, we visited the archives of the Finnish Literature Society and obtained copies of the unpublished wax cylinder recordings made by Niemi. This is Honeypaw’s arrangement of Debesėli pro šalį, collected in the Marcinkonys region, along with a variant of Poudan sanat collected mostly by A.D. Neovius in the 1880’s from what was at that time part of Eastern Finland. These are incantations that shepherds or farmers would have used asking the clouds to go to eastern lands during the hay-making time, to keep the hay dry. In the Finnish variants the clouds are asked to go to Karelia, while the Lithuanians ask them to go to what was likely present-day Belarus.
