the 9th latvian song festival:<br />

kārlis ulmanis’ lifetime oath before latvia<br />

Vita Zelče<br />

the latvian Song Festival is a vivid social phenomenon, and its history<br />

dates back to the first latvian national renaissance. as people came<br />

together to sing and to form a movement of choirs, this helped to facilitate<br />

the emergence of a national identity. the origins of the Song Festival were<br />

part of the development of a modern mass society and its cultural aspects.<br />

the events, development, continuity and changes of Song Festivals have<br />

coincided with the malleable historical environment in which they have<br />

occurred. the difference between the previous Song Festival and the next<br />

one was primarily determined by existing social, political and cultural<br />

changes.<br />

this paper reviews the 9th latvian Song Festival in 1938, reviewing the<br />

role of the event in the “new culture” and ideology of the authoritarian<br />

regime of Kārlis Ulmanis. the Song Festival was part of the country’s<br />

ideological and major cultural events, and the point was to mobilise popular<br />

support for the regime, as well as to confirm its legitimacy. the state paid<br />

for the entre festival, thus ensuring unprecedented grandiosity both in<br />

terms of the number of participants and the scope of the event. National<br />

life was completely subordinated to the needs of the festival. Participants<br />

were offered train tickets, discounted tickets to theatrical performances
