This was one of the first pieces of classical music I ever heard as a child. I was in Northern Ontario, Canada, a place which looks very much like Finland, with the same kind of lakes and forests. Finnish immigrants have lived in that part of Canada for generations, and they have always had a special bond with the Cree and Ojibway First Nations of Canada. Cree elders told me that the Finns were their brothers, who knew how to live in the forest, how to tell old stories, and knew the animals. I went on to listen to all the symphonies of Sibelius (I even attended a concert series in Toronto where they performed all seven symphonies in sequence, over one week). Sibelius always remained popular in Canada, because we instinctively feel that his music speaks for us almost as much as it does for the people of Finland. I've heard many, many performances of Finlandia. Never grow tired of it. I can even sing some of the Finnish lyrics. It's such a beautiful language, with a rythmn and flow that reminds me of Cree.

❤❤❤ Thank you!

Sibelius composed the piece in 1899-1900 as a response to the beginning of the so called "first era of oppression" that started in 1899 (or basically in 1898 with the appointment of governor-general Bobrikov) where Russia wanted to strip the autonomous state of Finland of its constitution and completely russify the state. The piece starts off expressing the despair of oppression and gradually heads towards the hope of eventually gaining freedom. Sibelius never intended there to be singing but that didn't stop people from writing a bunch of lyrics for the middle part and he later stated "if the world wants to sing, what can you do". The modern lyrics were written after the Winter War in 1940 by V. A. Koskenniemi and talk about how Finland managed to gain and hold on to its independence and sovereignty. A majestic and magical piece indeed with a lot of meaning.

The lyrics tell all about the idea of this composition in the year 1899. At that year started the Russification of Finland en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russification_of_Finland It is interesting that the bellicose tone of the piece heralds the Freedom War of Finland in 1918. The piece starts with the portrayal of gloomy atmosphere among the Finnish people, which then gradually turns to the fighting spirit.

No wonder the conductor Leopold Stokowski nominated this masterpiece to be ”The National Anthem of The Whole World”! It is so Grand!

What can I say... God bless Finland!!!

I have sung "Finlandia" as a choir arrangement, as part (Second Tenor) of a male choir "Viipurin Lauluveikot" ("Singing fellows of Vyborg") in our 175 year anniversary concert in this very same Helsinki Music Hall, sold out. I have *no words* for the feeling of receiving a roaring standing ovation from an audience of 2000, after the last echos of "Finlandia" reverberated into a few seconds of *total silence* - and then the audience exploded! Truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, never forgotten.

My grandparents were born before Finland’s independence and my grandfather fought in the war against Russia. Now that Russia has become a threat again to free countries like Ukraine and Finland there’s a marked rise of patriotism as we understand now the value of our freedom and peace. I get very emotional when listening to Finlandia. This performance is perhaps the best I have heard.

Just to day have I been signing Finlandia in Oulu city with 500 other singers. It was a great experience. I love this songs music and lyrics with very important meaning for us in Finland. Thank You very much!!!

"Finlandia" is such a beautiful and powerful composition that it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. You could say it's Finland's second national anthem and many would like it to be the official one. I haven't been there myself, but I've heard that the Helsinki Music Hall has excellent acoustics, so it must have been an experience to be there.

Amazing how 'Finlandia' works universally, true magic of music. You can feel the patriotism has strengthened in Finland recently, the Russian attack on Ukraine brought back the old fears and mistrust. They say that the best qualities of Finns come out in a crisis, so it happened again. Finns are pragmatic , joining NATO was a natural answer, even though it seemed impossible just a couple of years ago. Putin is the best NATO ambassador, in Finland he changed the general opinion about NATO overnight.

Powerful and beautiful! Mert! You described well the Finlandia anthem, the strong feelings and thoughts you experienced. I felt that way too. Great tone patterns, orchestra and singers. Beautiful calm at the beginning, a storm creeping in the background, heavy rain, lightning and thunder and then gradually rising a happier tone, the singers' voices like angels descending from the sky to bring peace.💫 So it can be said that the composer Sibelius knew his stuff more than well when he was the musical interpreter of the people!😊

Happy Independence day 6.11.2023. Finland❤ This song gets emotional every time i hear this. I hope we continue to be free and indepented from time after time.

Helsinki Music Hall opened August 31 2011. It's just oppsite of finnish parliament (middle of Helsinki). There's just excellent acoustics! Finnish music academy has their own training rooms inside this house.

In that music there are first our feelings about the war with Russia, and at the end the feelings of independence.

Hello from Australia. Sibelius is one of Finland's national composers. Another being Tuomas Holopainen.

Helsinki Music Hall (Musiikkitalo) is amazing and has really good acoustics. I've been there a lot recently, as I've got a season ticket for one of the orchestras that play there regularly.

You should check a video called "Finlandia hymn flashmob". Someone organized a flashmob singing the hymn at a finnish trainstation and the reactions of the ordinary people just walking by are amazing.

I totally agree with you Mert. Finlandia Hymni is one of the most majestic and beautiful compositions ever made. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos. Greetings from Norway ❤️ Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa Sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle Pääs seppälöimä suurten muistojen Oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle Sä että karkoitit orjuuden Ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle On aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.

You should listen to Andante festivo by Jean Sibelius. It always gives me chills.

There's also "Flashmob Finlandia" which I found really cool aswell!

This song is one of the most important to me. It tells me that I can live in a free country without oppression. I remember my grandfather and grandmother who were at the front fighting for all that. Watch the movie "unknown soldier" .. it summarizes a lot of things that have led to our independence🙏

The hymn part was not originally intended to be sung, but Sibelius was eventually hired to do the choral adaptation seen here. It was all orchestral originally, and most often still performed as such.

This Finlandia is truly a great song!

I like Finlandia also without the choir! And Finlandia hymn just with the choir :) Also, even if this is the most precious piece of music to us Finns, it's not our national anthem. That one is "Maamme-laulu". You should also check out Karelia Suite from Sibelius! And his violin concerto, they're the same vibe as Finlandia. He had a very strong own world with music, it's amazing! He was also a friend of one of the most known and loved Finnish painters Akseli Gallen-Kallela. I think that his paintings and Sibelius' music go very well hand-in-hand, their art is definitely from the same universe.

I think Finlandia transcends the notion of being a national anthem. It's so epic and grand that it would serve better as the official hymn of the whole of humanity.

Go my man. This lunaticly beautiful stuff is Us. Some musical family of Tchaikovsky is apparent. But it's still its unique kind of one by itsself.. You talk so elatively and creatively and describe this production as a Scotsman just ...precisely. Wow. We must be both Finnegans. You, with your stunning historical heritage of your ingenious Scots hand us an honest beautiful Gift by saying you 'feel patriotic for Finland'. That's a one in a million stance of courage, understanding nations' hunger for independence and simultaneously appreciating exactly the same for other nations AND- a constantly purposefully not having a chance to explain that all of it means PEACE living side by side. Korkeat aidat, hyvät naapurit; High fences, flourishing neighboriginality, ha. Thank you for this special presentation man.🚻♥☘

That accidental moment, when someone sat down, on the hill somewhere here. Then someone with skill for musics in orchestral scale was able to interpretate it so what it meant for everyone. Everyone before, then, and after. It's the mark of marks. You just need some bit of selfishness to survive, and that lets the color fall in, so making it a unique version of the mark. Perfection 👌 There are some people who knows how that works, and don't exactly care, but the ones who do don't so easily trust in it. Being in between two "star ✨️ 💥 ✨️ collisions" gave me better perspective to it, and deeper appreciation of everyone who is and has been. Soul on its own is perfect, but so is its intrigue for adventure. Strive 👌 "Just do it" like someone said. And this has been under the same sun that gave life to us all. ❤ Lots of love to all 😊

Veteraanien Iltahuuto sung by the military choir is an absolutely stunning experience. Very emotional to patriotic Finns.

More Sibelius please! How about The Swan of Tuonela or Nightride and Sunrise for starters. All the symphonies are superb too and I would be surprised if you didnt recognise parts of the 2nd and 5th. On a side note, youve watched Nightwish - Tuomas keyboard stand in the Wacken 2013 show was inspired the Sibelius memorial... [Oh, edit, Nightwish played Finlandia in 46 dhows in the Imaginaerum tour (the tour that included Wacken 2013 though they didnt pkay Finlandia in that one) and 6 shows on the previous tour (Dark Passion Play tour).

Sibelius is Finland's national composer. He composed music also to Finland's national epic Kalevala, when Finland's national identity was build. Here's some background and an intro to the following Sibelius' Kalevala piece: "Stories of Finnish Art - Akseli Gallen-Kallela: Lemminkäinen's Mother, 1897". And the piece itself: "Sibelius : The Swan of Tuonela - Karajan*". He has also composed Christmas music: "15/19: En etsi valtaa, loistoa (Jean Sibelius) [Advent Concert 2013]", A piece by a bit more modern composer: "Einojuhani Rautavaara - Piano Concerto No. 1 (1969)". Here opera singer Karita Mattila sings Lasse Mårtenson's song 'Myrskyluodon Maija' (album). Mattila is E.g. two-time Grammy winner: "Karita Mattila - Myrskyluodon Maija (Stormcar's Maya)". Mårtenson's original song is also worth a listen and very much loved by Finns. Late Kaija Saariaho is considered as one of the most significant composers of our time: "Kaija Saariaho : Laterna Magica". Pekka Kuusisto humoring the audience: "Pekka Kuusisto’s hilarious Proms encore - My Darling Is Beautiful". Some A cappella: "Rajaton - Dobbin's Flowery Vale". Another popular A cappella group singing this Eppu Normaali's song: "Eppu Normaali - Joka päivä ja joka ikinen yö (Urbaanirock '87)" and "Club For Five - Joka päivä ja joka ikinen yö". Eppu Normaali is the Finnrock band: "Eppu Normaali - Suolaista Sadetta". For English translations I'd try Lyricstranslate site.

The song part is globally best known in the English spiritual song Be still my soul. Sibelius is ranked 10-20 among classical composers in history.

I recommend watching the 2017 short series version (movie's good too) of Unknown Soldier (mayhaps for Independence Day [Dec 6th]?), it's really good. Og older version is great too, but it's a product of its time with a kinda stage-acting feel to a lot of the performances, the newer one is more cinematic so to speak. Absolutely worth a watch if you can get your mitts on it.

Everyone is a bit Finnish after listening to this. :D If interested, you should read the lyrics they are singing. About the nature, the memories and the position of Finland in the world - the music by itself is awesome, but when you know the lyrics, with the music it really hits the core and the Finnish soul. To me this piece or work of art is awesome how it accentuates every musical instrument in the orchestra and their contribution to the whole, and what and who each of them symbolizes in hard times, and of course the choir which represents the Finnish people in general.
