Finland is a country by itself. This piece is just a great greeting to his history and fight for freedom. Long live to Suommi

I grew up amid the lakes and forests of Northern Ontario, in Canada. The landscape there is identical to that of Finland. Many Finnish immigrants settled there, mixing with the aboriginal Cree and Ojibway people. I remember a Cree elder who told me that he couldn't believe that the Finns were Europeans. "They're exactly like us," he said. "They have the sweat hut (= sauna), when they speak it sounds something like our language, they know how to live in the forest, how to hunt, how to walk in the snow, how to tell stories around the campfire in the proper way. They belong here, like we do. It's strange that they look so pale, though." I'm not a Finn, but when I hear Sibelius, he speaks to me like a brother.

@@rookield8077 The landscape of Northern Ontario is precambrian shield rock covered in forest (deciduous grading into coniferous as a you go northward), with thousands of lakes. Small patches of farms scattered in the southern parts, but 95% of the land is forested. This would be very familiar to you, I'm sure. Finns arrived in the late 19th century and were welcomed because they were skilled lumberjacks and they could compete successfully in fistfights with the French Canadian, Ojibway and Irish lumberjacks. After the fistfights were done with, they all intermarried. Just looking at the map of Northern Ontario, I can find Suomi (town), Suomi Lake, Finland (township), Finland's Bay, Finland Creek, Kittila Maki (neighbourhood in Thunder Bay), Rauhala (another neighbourhood in Thunder Bay), Kivikoski (town), Lappe (originally Lappi, but mispelled by the Post Office), Sistonens Corners, Kormak, Makynen (village), Intola Cemetery, Pohjola Cemetery & Tarmola Cemetery (inhabited by dead Finns, I guess), Ella Lake, Emma Lake, Jantti Lake, Karstula Lake, Kusti lake, Lohi Lake, Matti Lake, Pelo Lake, Pistin Lake, Tenho Lake, four different Maki Lakes and three different Maki Rivers. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a name is Finnish or native Cree or Ojibway, because the languages look similar, but those are the ones I'm fairly sure of.

@@thompsonmackenzie8957 Many people seem to have named the lakes by their names. All the lakes you said were Finnish names. Also it's funny how "mäki" or as you would call it, maki, used to be the most popular last name in 1800s-1900s. That's why there are so many of them I guess.

Because I'm a finn, I can never listen to this without tears coming into my eyes. The music tells the incredible story of Finland. The hard struggles, the fights, how the tough people of Finland went from being a poor country to rich one through hard work of every finn, then becoming a free and modern society. It is difficult to tell with words. One needs to be a finn to really get the depth of this masterpiece. This piece represents Finland from the first notes to the last ones. I love my dearest Finland with all my heart and mind and will without a doubt always protect my country against any possible aggressor. It would be my honor to die for my country.

I'm a grown man sitting here on the 6th of December crying more than a few tears listening to this. It's hard to explain. If you're not Finnish, you may think this is a great piece (or not) but for so many of us this might just be the most beatiful piece of music ever written. Not only because of the music itself, but for what it represents to us. Depicting the struggles our people had to experience in the past in order to grow into the blossoming society it is today. Everything about it makes me feel so grateful to have been born and lived in this country. A truly inspiring masterpiece and the only music that has ever had me in tears. Happy independence day everyone.

My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean, and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine; but other lands have sunlight too, and clover, and skies are everywhere as blue as mine: O hear my song, thou God of all the nations, a song of peace for their land and for mine. May truth and freedom come to every nation; may peace abound where strife has raged so long; that each may seek to love and build together, a world united, righting every wrong; a world united in its love for freedom, proclaiming peace together in one song.*

Its a national day in here in Finland and this hymn brings tears in my patriotic eyes.

I was 17 years old, in 1986 I heard Finlandia for the first time in Egypt, with the (I guess) symphonic orchestra, in Cairo. I was visiting my father, who worked there for 3 years. He only listed to classical music and had a great understanding and hearing, so he said the performance was so so... While I listen to many other things as well, I recall these gone moments, being thankful for the introduction to classical music by my late father.

I'm from London and my father loved Sibelius, so I know this well. (He loved the 2nd symphony and of course Pelleas and Melisande (At the Castle Gate especially).

I have only been to Finland once...cross country skiing for 2 weeks near Enontenkio...Oh, how I remember that! I had Sibelius playing in my ear phones whil making my way through that landscape.........How I "UNDERSTOOD" his music then as I had never before!

@Elmo Tuominen I agree...I have travelled all around the world, and I have to say that - irrespective of the music - that skiing trip was one of the most beautiful or most interesting things I have done. It was absoutely stunning. I remember taking a break during the skiing, listening to the very tentative beginning of the violin of the Sibelius violin concerto, and at that moment we spotted two reindeer who were not bothered at all by our presence. It was magical, simply magical.

Never heard this song before, been to Finland, or even looked into Finland’s amazing history, but this song brought tears to my eyes.

It was written in 1899 and revised in 1900. I blame my culture-specific ignorance. Beuatiful video... 6:09... the audio is also wonderful :D

A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Finnish soldier is better than ten Russian". The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where Upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russian." Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence. The calm Finnish voice calls out again: "One Finn is better than one thousand Russians" The enraged Russian commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought.... Then Silence. Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men......it's a trap. There's two of them."

During the Second World War (which I remember, in full) my father collaborated with Finnish immigrants to form a consumer's cooperative in San Francisco. He greatly admired the Finns he met and this impression has stayed with me, reinforced by my own experiences. My father called Sibelius "The Beethoven of the North," and we listened to almost all of his music at home. "Finlandia' was always part of music appreciation in grammar my school.

I grew up right after the war, when Kekkonen was ”a mere minister”, and remember the poverty and the chaos of the ”years of danger” when the Soviet Union still held presence in Finland. It was a time of turmoil, Helsinki was just starting to recover and ever new people moved in from the former Karelia, and the streets were dominated by black market operators, war-torn trouble makers and us, the young guys with our ”flat hats” and oil-slicked hair, trying to make it in this new urban environment. -E.K.

When I took up the clarinet, I asked my teacher to transcribe the Finlandia Hymn for me. It was the first piece I learned to play. So stirringly beautiful.

I love how this song starts. It starts with a dark, descending feel citing back to the awfullness oppression done by the Russian empire to Finland but then the tune changes into hopeful melody, referencing to Finland's independence. Then melody changes into suspicious time interwar period after that again dark when Finland is attacked by the Soviet Union..
