Jean Sibelius, the composer of both Jääkärimarssi and Finlandia-hymni, is our national treasure. Over the years, there has been debate about whether Finlandia-hymni should replace our official national anthem (Maamme laulu). To many, the Finlandia-hymni better represents the Finnish spirit and identity, especially given its historical context. And it's just a masterpiece of composition.

Another powerful and emotionnally uplifting song is "Veteraanin iltahuuto" (the evening shout of the veteran), which is sang, by tradition, in the funeral of every Finnish veteran. That includes the funeral of my grandfather, where I heard it for the first time in my life. It is like a goodbye song to the brother in arms, whose soul is now with the almighty God.

Finlandia hymn is part of the larger work 'Finlandia' by Sibelius. Worth checking out the complete work. Composed in 1899-1900. Huge part of the independence movement in Finland culminating in 1917 independence.

Sibelius' op.26 (Finlandia) is my absolutely favorite piece of classical composition. Strong, powerful composition with eerily quiet and calm Hymn hitting like a truck just around the 3/5 part, followed by transition to Grand Finale where musical Finnish National Pride is finally blasting away like fireworks! Kinda makes me wish there was a easily available recording(s and more info) of that entire set (that 'Finlandia' is the finale of!) Sibelius composed to accompany the nationalistic production by Bergbom and other texts by Leino/Finne.

I cannot listen to Finlandia without tearing up

I cannot even begin to describe all the feeling going inside me, when hearing this stunning hymn sung on the stairs at Helsinki Cathedral every 6th of December by a Students Choir and hundreds of other people at the square in front of the Cathedral. There is something very solemn and profound in this hymn, even if you didnt know the history or Finnish language. As a Finn I get chills every time, I hear this masterpiece. Finland has been an independent nation for a bit over century now. First, we were conquered by Sweden around 12th century, and remained as part of Sweden until 1808, when we became part of Russian Empire. Throughout most of our history the majority of Finns were peasants, while the ruling class consisted mainly Swedish speaking aristocrats. Finnish language was the language of the peasants, and it hadnt written form not until 16th century. Even after developing the written, standardized form for the language, Finnish still remained the language of the peasants, while administravite language was Swedish and Latin. Finnish language finally became equal by the 1880's, which was the time of the nationalistic awakening all over Europe. Independence Finland gained 6th of December 1917, and from henceworth we have been an independent nation, which we had to defend at WW2 against the invasion of Soviet Union. We managed to defer total annihilation of our independence, however.

Somehow now, during the Russian war in Ukraine, Jääkärimarssi and Finlandia hymn remind us how we used to be. Under Russian rule. Finland paid a high price for it's freedom: both in loss of land and war indemnities. Finland has been independent since 1917, just over a hundred years. We have 1340 kilometres of border with our Eastern neighbour... Finland has never forgotten. Jääkärimarssi makes me feel defiant and determined. My mother was a teenager during WW II, and she has told me so many stories. I wish we never have to see war times again.

Jääkärimarssi is the honor march of finnish jaeger forces (pretty much all of infantry). Me, being done my tour of duty as an anti-tank missile jaeger, I have marched to that song several times. It was (IIRC) created during the 1920's after the finnish civil war where Whites beat the Reds with the german-trained jaegers were an elite soldier units of the whites.

Finlandia was composed in 1899 by Jean Sibelius, our national composer. It was composed during the Russian oppression when the Russians tried to erase Finnish culture, language and laws. This is only a portion of the full 10 minute piece, this part of the piece is called the "hymn" and the whole song is called Finlandia. He composed this and played it live and it moved the audience so much that it became a hit. It didn't have lyrics at first, the first lyrics were actually written in the US by Finnish Americans as they wanted to sing the hymn part when they were missing home. The first lyrics were written by a Finnish American journalist George (Yrjö) Sjöblom in 1919. He worked at New York Times and when a winter storm was causing havoc in the city he got homesick and was thinking about this hymn so he wrote the first lyrics to it. He sent the lyrics to Sibelius and he thanked and said "the hymn isn't meant to be sung, but I won't deny Finns from singing it". The current lyrics (as sung in this version) were written in 1940 by V.A Koskiniemi who was a Finnish poet. The lyrics tell the tale of how Finland got free from slavery and oppression from the Russians. Nowadays it is probably the most important piece of music for us Finns, many (me included) say that this should be the national anthem. Our national anthem is a german marching song actually written by a German, hence many people prefer this over 'oi maamme'.

As a Finn, this makes me wanna salute and stand at attention throughout.

It is very important to hear the first part of Finlandia hymn!!!!! It is epic. Anyway, the song still gives me chills every time.

Polka is a folkdans Finlandia got me. So beautiful. Finns are my dear neighbours. Greatings from Sweden. ❤

There is a musical "code" in the Jääkärinmarssi. It switches between more western, Swedish, French and German schools and Russian, Slavic school of musical language when it changes from major to minor scale. And it matches the words too... It is ruthless and sad in the minor key, and then victorious, hopeful and talks about bright future in the major key. You can specially hear it with the line "which is cutting its chains" that has the most stereotypical ascending Slavic melody, and then it switches to more European with the line "our defiance will not be passed". It is like a Prussian march all of a sudden, boisterous and upbeat. The "code" is really all about being finally free from Russian rule and all of the horrible things they did to us, and joining Europe. Yup, Sibelius was a genius.

Finlandia hymn, and to seller extent the jaeger march always give me goosepumps, while säkkijärven polkka is great for raising spirits. Jaegers were volunteer infantry that were trained by Germans in WWI. They took part in battles against Russia in the eastern front. Then when the Finnish civil war started they were transferred to Finland and became a core of the new Finnish (white) army and trained the new conscripts (in contrast to civil guards) among other things. Today all infantry in Finland is called "jääkäri" jaeger and the military oath everyone takes is mostly the same as those first jaegers took before shipping to Finland.

Jaeger march, it was made for the civil war 1917'ish.. being a jaeger myself, i raises shivers in my spine, so strong. Sakkijarven Polkka, annoying sound, but fun fact..only song used as a weapon, ever..finnish army played that song specially on a set frequency to blow up russian minefields with certain mines that were activated by radiosignals. (or to prevent them to explode, cant remember which) Finlandia, ethereal..you should hear the whole finlandia from Sibelius.

The hymn is so badly translated that you lose about 90% of the awe in it. And you still found it awesome 😊 It goes more properly something like this. O look, Finland, your day dawns. The threat of night has been banished. The skykark sings in the brightness of dawn like the very lid of the heavens were struck ringing. The powers of night are conquered by the dawn's brightness. Your day dawns, o land of birth. O rise, Finland, raise it high. Your head wreathed in great memory. O rise, Finland, you showed the world. That you banished slavery. (high point) And that you would not bend under oppression. Your day dawns, O land of birth.

All those songs brings tears to my eyes. Knowing the history of Finland, how they fought for their country Säkkijärven polkka, about forgetting The war for just a moment and go dancing with beautiful woman and be happy even though they lost their homes, and would never see their beloved Karelia . Finland were taken and This songs are about the joy of finally being free from slavery 🇫🇮❤️

Jääkärinmarssi is definitely my favorite, I'm a anti-armor jaeger myself and the song was our company marching song at oath ceremony. We spent hours practicing it, wouldn't expect training singing in army. But our marching and singing was so good that we were rewarded additional vacation day. Army was tough but really rewarding experience and left great memories.

Finlandia hymn gets me in tears. Its somehow so in the core of our humble history, in such a beautiful way.

Oh, I love these songs! Jääkärimarssi is a proud song of Finnish soldiers from the time when Finland became independent. And Säkkijärven polkka is telling about Karelia, the beautiful piece of Finland that we had to give to Russia. So many Karelians had to leave their homes in Karelia. Finlandia shares our love to our home country. Thank you, Mert Fin, for playing them all here!

Some other good finnish patriotic songs that you could listen to are "vapaussoturin valloituslaulu", which is a civil war song of the white side, "veteraanin iltahuuto", song of war veterans and "uraliin", continuation war song.

Finlandia Hymn is a part of a greater composition by Jean Sibelius. Originally it didn't include any lyrics. I strongly recommend you listening to it completely and reading the description here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGmuycGalpzIaMY.html

My parents were born and raised in Finland, karajala until the winter war. My father and his 5 brothers went to fight and defend the country. I'm proud of them. I'm was born and raised in Brasil my heart is there too.

I am living in free country because of him and his friends ❤

I have heard them before, several times, in fact my whole life. Jääkärimarssi and Finlandia Hymn are very good and emotional piece of music.

Check out: Finlandia Hymn Senate Square (Performed by a choir of thousands singers) and Finlandia Flashmob (Several videos of great performances)

"Säkkijärven polkka" song was actually used by the Finnish military to disrupt the signals of Soviet mines, preventing them from detonating. So that song quite literally saved lives.

fun fact: finnish army used Säkkijärven polkka to block soviet radio-controlled mines from detonation during the recapture of Viipuri. the Finns broadcasted the song at the same frequency the mines detonated at, for over 1,500 times from September 1941 to February 1942 until “proper” mine jamming equipment was brought in. When the Soviets caught wind of this, they attempted to change the frequency to detonate the mines. Once the Finns heard of this, they changed their methods, and broadcasted the Säkkijärven Polkka on every possible frequency that the mines could operate at.

The Finlandia Hymn always brings out the emotions. This is relevant again when we already have new persecutions, as in the whole of Europe.

Rare things can bring tears to my eyes but I can't listen or sing Finlandia hymni without shedding a tear or two

I have gotten tears from many touching songs, but Finlandia Hymni is one of it's kind. It grasps your whole heart, giving chills but also making your skin warm. It instantly wakes the feeling of doing absolutely everything to protect this country and our loved ones.

As a finn, that version of Finlandia leaves me crying helplessly

I tear up every time I hear Finlandia hymn.

When i was working in Rotterdam, Netherhlands, there was this Finnish tugboat called Zeus. It could dock almost in the middle of the city. When i first visited there, they had speakers on the deck. I could here Finnlandia many blocks away. It was amazing! Captain was very patriotic.

oh and yes, the hymn was only small part of it... there is epic part of it when the melody imitates machine guns and eventually "win" and so... it is absolutelu stunning here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGmuycGalpzIaMY.html its without vocals mut... it is sure epic and amazing, truly breathtaking

1:54 It's actually pronounced Yaegers, as in Jägermeister. The reason the German word is used in English, is that the English-speaking world is more familiar with it due to WW2. Finns use the word Jääkärit, Finnish version of the same word. Germans helped us Finns with our independence by training our men as Jaegers, (highly mobile light infantry, lacking a good translation into English). Jaegers are generally thought of as elite troops, so the idea was that if you're going train conscripts to resist the Russians, they better be good at it.

I was at a high school where we did the entire Finlandia Suite and the choir part afterwards. The Finlandia choir part is ingrained in my brain.

Säkkijärven polkka was actually the first ever use of electronic warfare! It was played day and night to interfere with soviet mines that was activated by radio frequencies, and the song somehow was at a similar tone to the radio waves!

So a quick history of Jääkärimarssi (Jaeger's march) In late 1800s/early 1900s Finland was a part of Russian empire and Russia started to russify it's territories, Finns did not like this so many Finns sneaked to Germany in order to get millitary training so that at an opportune moment they could return to Finland and fight for its independence. These Jaeger's were fighting in the eastern front under German empire in WW1 and a Jaeger wrote a poem which is the lyrics of this song, then Russia was plunged into a civil war, Finns declared their independence, these lyrics were sent to Sibelius I who "with patriotic fervour" composed the music for the poem creating the song. German empire would then ship these Jaeger's back to Finland sho that they could fight the Finnish civil war on the side of the whites against the Russian supported reds. This is one of the things why Finn's had and still have good relationship and respect towards Germans. So when the lyrics refer to "we have no mercy and no homeland" it is a reference to them fighting abroad when Finland is not independent yet.

Leave out the Polkka, Finlandia is the most powerful tune in the whole wide world and you're a beautifully cheeky guy. I'm glad you get in touch with Mr. Sibelius and Koskenniemi lyrics. Love you brother. In the translation in the very core momentum of the tune it mentions ' as if the very ceiling, the lid, of the heaven resonates' ; Kuin Taivaan Kansi sois. Aye, tolkien from the heart said that Finnish is the real Greek language of Filosofy and I agree, there's no other language like it in the Western world. Thank you my man for doing this, much love and bless you-from Åbo Turku, Finland.💕

I would add "Hakkapeliittain marssi" or "Suomalaisen ratsuväen marssi 30-vuotisessa sodassa" which is about the finnish cavalry in the 30 years war in the 1600s. The main theme is from the 1600s, I guess.

It's so finnish that there is upbeat tempo in a song wherevä they are singing about part of Finland we lost to the Soviet Union. Songs where we are happy we use minor.

this gives me the chills everytime. Proud to be Finnish!
