Nuortijärven leuʹddit presents the Skolt Sámi leuʹdd tradition of the Kola Sámi Peninsula, as collected during the Kola Sámi Project in 1993–97. The focus is on material notated and analysed by musician and musicologist Ilpo Saastamoinen. The work is a continuation of the Global Music Centre’s earlier collection of recordings and texts, Son vuäinn. That material is now being published for the first time as an extensive collection of sheet music. The work contains leuʹdds performed by two masters of the Skolt Sámi tradition, Anfissa Gerassimova and Anastassia Gerassimova. The texts were transcribed by Satu Moshnikoff and Markus Juutinen. The illustrations are by Erja Taskinen. The work is edited by Marko Jouste and Markus Juutinen.
The book is published in Finnish and Skolt Sámi.
The book includes a link to the field recordings.
