Gustav Ernesaks

I whanau i te 1908 i te kainga o Perila (Estonia) i roto i te whanau o te kaimahi hokohoko. I ako ia i te waiata i te Tallinn Conservatory, i puta i te kura i te tau 1931. Mai i tera wa kua noho ia hei kaiako waiata, he kaikawe waiata rongonui Estonian me te kaitito waiata. I tua atu i nga rohe o te Estonian SSR, ko te roopu waiata i hangaia, i whakahaerehia e Ernesaks, te Estonian State Men's Choir, i tino rongonui me te whakanui.

Ko Ernesaks te kaituhi o te opera Pühajärv, i tu i te tau 1947 i runga i te atamira o te Whare Tapere o Estonia, a ko te opera Shore of Storms (1949) i whakawhiwhia ki te Stalin Prize.

Ko te waahanga nui o te mahi auaha a Ernesaks ko nga momo waiata. Kaitito waiata mo te National Anthem of the Estonian SSR (i whakaaetia i te tau 1945).
