The archive’s description
Written by the editors of the ERAB type index and quoted as it stands, in Estonian.
ERlA 1. LOOMINE. Kasutatakse ka Loomislaul, aga trükistes igal pool Loomine.
1. Loomine: tuntud üle maa (erandiks Kagu-Eesti), eriti Põhja- ja Edela-Eestis; populaarne laul, millest on noteeritud üle 100 teisendi. Kontamineerub «riti kiigelauludega (449, 450, 452) ja «Mere pühkimise» (999) motiiviga, ka lauluga 195 («Kolm metsa»). Variant 4 — tüüpiline kuluvorm. Lauldud eriti kiigel (Lääne-Eestis), on kasutatud ka mängulauluna. Maailma loomine munast on tüüpiline põhjarahvaste uskumus (vrd. «Kalevala»). Eesti «Loomislaulus» on maailmaloomise motiiv juba võrdlemisi teisejärguline, pearõhk on ilutseval linnu pesa otsimise kirjeldusel. Vt. ER I, 15—72; O.
