In music, however, this heritage was not always used in naïve illustrations of national subjects or in the use of folk tunes per se.
The Finnish Music Quarterly, a music periodical in English, was launched in 1985, and now has a circulation of 4,000, being distributed to leading figures and institutions in the field of music worldwide.

Repertoires are weighted in favour of the Classical and Romantic period, partly because that is what audiences want and partly because one of the main duties of orchestras is to perform the masterpieces of the genre for each successive generation of concertgoers.
The composers not only write music for 'their' orchestras but help with programme planning, participate in school projects, give lectures, etc. Most significantly, audiences have been almost alarmingly enthusiastic: the composer-in-residence is clearly an excellent vehicle for conveying new and perhaps not very accessible music to regular concertgoers.
