Beautiful and heartfelt music by a composer I didn't know existed until KuhlauDilfeng2 posted him a few days ago. He's like the Latvian Grieg and wonderful. Thanks for introducing me to Baltic composers besides Arvo Pärt.

From Wikipedia: Jāņi is an annual Latvian festival celebrating the summer solstice. Although astronomically the solstice falls on 21 or 22 June, the public holidays-Līgo Day and Jāņi Day-are on 23 and 24 June. The day before Jāņi is known as Līgosvētki.
On Jāņi, people travel from the city into the countryside to gather and eat, drink, sing and celebrate the solstice by observing the ancient folk traditions relating to renewal and fertility.
It is celebrated both in Latvia and in many areas where the Latvian diaspora lives such as the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Australia.
