Tiivistelmä
This thesis examines the ways a modern folk singer views trall singing as a Nordic folk singing tradition and touches upon the important components a singer uses when tralling. Trall will also be explored generally as a phenomenon of Nordic folk music and folk singing. This study is an artistic research project done as part of the Nordic Master's in Folk Music Education at the Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts, Helsinki. Attached to it is an audio file, regarding the master’s concert that was done as a part of this research project and that took place on November 14th, 2025. In this thesis, the research questions are: What are the most important factors that define my own style of trall? How do you tell a story through a trall, which is traditionally sung with nonsensical lyrics?
