		The importance of music in Finnish culture is evident right from the first words of the Kalevala, the key literary works, with its roots in Karelia.
		The original musical instrument of the Finnish tribes was the Kantele, which was replaced by the violin and later the accordion.
		Finnish music often concerns the beauty of their country or the lost mythical land of Karelia.

	Finnish Music Quarterly
		Finnish opera seems to be flourishing in an unprecedented manner.
		In the 1970s, the trend originally disparagingly called "fur cap opera" in Finnish was towards works with themes embedded in the Finnish national experience, and the two first and most prominent examples, Joonas Kokkonen's Viimeiset kiusaukset ("The Last Temptations") and Aulis Sallinen's Ratsumies ("The Horseman"), both reaped success outside of Finland too.
		Although Finnish themes are still in favor, this second wave of Finnish opera represents a wide spectrum of styles, themes, and forms.

	HISTORICAL
		In the 1820's the normative composition of Finnish military bands was 2 piccolos, 2 flutes, 1 Eb clarinet, 2 B clarinets, 1 basset-horn in F, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 Es trumpets, 2 trombones, 1 tambourin, 1 triangle, 1 side drum and 1 bass drum.
		Music books of the enlisted Army period have been preserved from the Heinola Battalion and their contents prove that popular European music, both dance and entertainment, was performed in Finland in the 1820's but in 1830 enlisted Finnish battalions were disbanded.
		Musical activity as such however, did not stop as several towns established brass bands from the former armed forces bands after the abolition of the Army.

		At the moment, it seems that Estonian music is again in a state of flux, with a number of composers broaching new territory.
		The music is mostly modal and diatonic; the finale is nearly exclusively in the tonality of C. Kangro's Concerto no. 3 for two pianos and orchestra was premiered at the Helsinki Festival in 1992, and its two predecessors have also been performed in Finland.
		Also, Finnish composers are noted for being much more puritan in issues of style than Estonians; pluralism has often been given the cold shoulder, and one of the strictest taboos up to the 1990s was the introduction of pop or jazz features into concert music.

		Finnish cinema is enjoying a major boom: the higher degree of professionalism and the growing rate of new releases are paying dividends in bigger box-office figures.
		Only once does the music engage in counterpoint with what is happening on the screen: during the battle in the burning forest it disregards the action and instead takes the side of the men.
		Representing diegetic music in Ambush (outside music transferred direct to the world of the film) is the aria Una furtiva lagrima by Donizetti sung at the funeral of a brother-in-arms.

		Listen to More Finnish Tangos.(the music button is in pop-up that worked in Netscape but not in my version of Internet Explorer) This phenomenon is unique in the Scandinavian countries, possibly due to the Finns' love of romantic music.
		There was a revival of tango music in the 1950's and 60's, and when rock music came along, Finland became more or less divided between Tango (and Humppa, a kind of two-step) in the north and rock in the south.

	pronunciationguide.org: Finnish and Estonian
		Of all the European languages that use Latin letters, Finnish is one of the most phonetic, that is, the written and spoken forms coincide very closely.
		The most famous Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius, does not have a Finnish name; his first name is French (pronounce it as such) and his last name is Latin.
		The point: don't assume that everything having to do with Finnish music also involves the Finnish language -- when you encounter a Finnish performer or composer whose name looks more Germanic, see the section of this guide on Swedish and Norwegian.

	[No title]
		Firmly grounded in ethnographic tradition and in theories of identity, culture, and change, this text serves an excellent introduction to musical anthropology, or ethnomusicology, as it concerns the development of Finish folk music.
		In the second section, the data from the ethnographic fieldwork is presented, focusing on "the transmission and performance of new folk music in an urban and in a rural context," a juxtaposition that is set up theoretically and historically in the first section (xvii).
		The text is complex and subtle in its analysis, worthy of the effort to study the implications as far-reaching as the relationship of Lonnrot and the Kalevala to Sibelius and the relationship of both to the formation of a Finnish cultural and national identity that transcends Finland's borders and includes Finnish-American and Finnish-Canadian identities.

	Finnish New Music For Accordion: Maria Kalaniemi
		My style, the rhythm, is taken from folk music, but the melodies I have taken from classical, maybe a little from rock music, but the style is still from folk.
		Folk music was gaining stature all over the country in the '60s and '70s, with universities adding courses and festivals popping up everywhere, but it still seemed the domain of an dedicated few.
		There is a dark, romantic side to this music, in part because of the similarities inherent in Finnish folk music and west Asian and east European gypsy music.
