	Finlandia by Jean Sibelius — Virtual Finland
		Finlandia is probably the most widely known of all the compositions of Jean Sibelius.
		In Finland the Finlandia Hymn was not sung until Finnish words for it were written by the opera singer Wäinö Sola in 1937.
		Sibelius arranged the Hymn for mixed choir as late as 1948.

	Finnish patriotic, spiritual and folksong texts.
		The premiere of this hymn took place in 1941 at the 25th Anniversary concert of the Laulumiehet choir.
		Much to my chagrin, numerous other texts have been adapted to this orchestral piece in later years, bringing this Finnish national treasure to the level of the old proverbial "war horse." All are void of the beauty and majesty that this music possesses.
		Besides, the hymn has become a sacred song of sorts, laden with national fervor and excitement, representing the longing for freedom of peoples everywhere.

	Finlandia
		Finlandia became a world favourite, and many arrangements were made of it: an arrangement for military band in 1909, a choral and orchestral version in English in 1925, and an arrangement for marimba orchestra in the 1940s.
		Finlandia starts with a threatening motif in the brass, which immediately increases from forte to fortissimo.
		After the hymn the tempo becomes faster, the brass fanfares return, and the short symphonic poem rushes to its triumphant end as the hymn theme continues to play, augmented by the brass.

	The Power Of A Great Hymn
		Hymns are one of the most effective ways to teach Christian doctrine.
		Hymn writers had an experience with Christ that had to be explained, an encounter that had to be shared.
		Hymns carefully planned and scheduled in worship pave the way for the sermon and give the message a better chance of making a lasting impact.

		Sibelius' works, his Finlandia hymn, for example, symbolise the national culture, and "sisu" stands for that indefinable quality of determination, strength and tenacity.
		The venue selected for the ISI Session is Finlandia Hall, a Congress and Concert Centre representing modern architecture in Helsinki.
		Therefore, one's main attention in Finlandia Hall is not drawn to particular forms, or the interior decoration, but to the audience and presenters.

		There are 180,000 lakes in Finland, so the chances of finding at least one lake-inspired tune in the repertoire of the Finlandia Jazz Trio were always going to be high.
		His flexibility allowed him not only to augment or ornament a tune's melody, but to double as a bassist (using elegant, measured contrapuntal lines) and even a percussionist, as he vigorously strummed or knocked, tapped and slapped the body of his guitar.
		But the most ardent applause at Friday's concert was reserved for another medley of hymns - this time performed with exquisite restraint and aching tenderness.

		His Finlandia was composed for a national pageant in 1899 which, under the guise of a charitable event, was aimed at the effort to "Russify" the country.
		It, and especially its great central hymn immediately became so identified with Finnish national aspirations that it was banned in 1917.
		Va Pensiero became the Italians' song of liberation, for, in the oppressed Hebrews, they found a symbol of their own longing for reunification with Lombardy, which was occupied by Austria.

		His Violin Concerto is too beautiful for words.....Yes, I have a Finnish pal, and Finlandia is an expression of their erstwhile oppression by Russia, having, as you say, incorporated folk music that only a Fin would recognise.
		Finlandia (the hymn tune, not the tone poem) has at least three texts that I know of.

		Speaking of hymns, "Be Still, My Soul" is most often set to the music of the so-called Finlandia Hymn (featuring the melody from the end of Sibelius' piece).
		Finlandia has some of the greatest music for the lower strings ever written in the first part, but when it gets to Be Still My Soul's section, he suddenly decides to hate the violas.
		Finlandia is wonderful, but rather boring for the winds through most of it.

		Katharina von Schlegel, born in 1697 was probably head of a Women's House of the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Cothen in Germany.
		Her hymn was discovered and translated by Jane L. Borthwick (1813-97), and its popularity today is no doubt due to its setting to Sibelius' famous melody Finlandia.
		The hymn is an expression of deep piety and trust in God, a fine example of the German pietistic experience.

	INKPOT#29 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Sibelius - "Finlandia" - Orchestral Works
		Ashkenazy is a well-versed Sibelian who has recorded a very fine cycle of Sibelius symphonies for Decca (421 069), albeit with a warmer, sunnier flavour.
		Finlandia (1899) and the Karelia Suite (1893) benefit greatly from these warm orchestral colours.
		The former boasts a smashing timpanist, richly precise brass and sensitive dynamics, while the recording creates a beautiful sound picture with satisfying balance, showing the strings in impressive detail -- listen too for the tuba and triangle, and even the bass drum roll during the "Finlandia Hymn" is audible.

		Most of the selections on this disc are short - no more than two or three minutes long - and several of them are specifically appropriate for Christmas.
		The disc opens with Sibelius's arrangement of the "Finlandia Hymn," the noble melody that he used in his more famous work for orchestra.
		As sung by the clear-toned voices of the Tapiola Children's Choir, it is powerfully moving lump-in-the-throat material for Finns and non-Finns alike.
