| dbo:abstract | Hannes Saari (April 25, 1886 – July 13, 1967) was a Finnish American singer, songwriter and choir director. Saari was born in Oulu. His family moved to the US in 1902, but Hannes returned to Finland ten years later.

He and his choirs performed on radio and toured across the US and Canada. Occasionally Saari performed at Työn Temppeli, the socialist hall in New York. Saari thus became an important culture figure among the Finnish settlers and for the Finnish American labor movement. He died in Astoria, Oregon. Between 1925 and 1931 Saari made 46 recordings for Columbia Records and Victor Records in New York. Some of them were made together with Antti Kosola and his orchestra. One of his most successful records was Armas, vanhaksi jo käyn (Darling, I'm already growing old). The original song is Hart Pease Danks' Silver Threads Among the Gold with the Finnish lyrics written by Saari. In 1963 Saari gave his private collection of recordings and letters to the University of Turku. (en) Hannes Saari, född 25 april 1886 i Uleåborg, död 13 juli 1967 i Astoria, USA, var en amerikafinländsk sångare, sångtextförfattare och körledare. Familjen emigrerade till USA 1902, men Saari återvände till Finland tio år senare och bedrev studier vid Helsingfors musikinstitut 1913–1914. Saari bedrev även sångstudier hos Abraham Ojanperä i Limingo. Efter sin examen flyttade Saari till New York, där han engagerades vid finländska körer. Som kördirigent och sångare uppträdde han i radio och turnerade runtom i USA och Kanada, emellanåt tillsammans med hustrun Sophia Saari. Bland de finländska invandrarna i USA var Saari en viktig kulturpersonlighet, även inom arbetarrörelsen och han uppträdde på det socialistiska Työn Temppeli i New York. Åren 1925–1931 gjorde Saari 46 skivinspelningar med sånger av bland andra Emil Kauppi, Herman Sjöblom, Hjalmar Nordling och Pasi Jääskeläinen. Saari skrev även egna sånger, däribland Armas, vanhaksi jo käyn, som är en översättning av Hart Pease Danks Silver threads among the gold. 1963 överlämnade Saari sina privata samlingar till Åbo universitet. I samlingen ingick Saaris skivinspelningar, brev och biografiska anteckningar. (sv) |
