<p>Folk songs are an important part of many cultures and are often influential on artists, poets, playrights, and composers. P?t, V?ji?i (Blow, Wind) is an example of a folk song from the Latvian culture that has experienced a transformation from the tables of the home to the stages of the theater. The narrative of P?t, V?ji?i has been portrayed through countless musical arrangements, a play, two operas, a film, and a musical, and the story continues to thrive. An overview of the evolution of the song and analyses of the opera by a blacklisted composer, Felicita Tomsone, and the film music by Imants Kalni?s will be given, thus showing the importance of P?t, V?ji?i as a thriving subject within Latvian music and theater.
