| The score of Kevade (Springtime) was completed for the 1969 film by director Arvo Kruusement, which is based on the popular Estonian novel (1912) of the same name by writer Oskar Luts (1887-1953). The film and novel portray the school adventures of a group of rural Estonian teenagers from the early 20th century. Oskar Luts continued with the further lives of the same characters in the later novels Suvi (Summer)(1918), Tootsi pulm (Toots's Wedding)(1921), Argipäev (Weekday)(1924) and Sügis (Autumn)(1938). The 2nd and 5th books were also filmed by Arvo Kruusement in 1976 and 1990, respectively, and are also scored by Veljo Tormis. |
