It is the
new, young Finland that
will be described, and
the composer gives us the
description in the form
of a song, a simple,
four-part chorus,
peculiar due to certain
rhythmic accents [...].
It is a whole new folk
song, or more correctly,
[...] the song of our
democratic Finnish folk.
This is how Karl Flodin
described his first aural
impression of the tone
poem Finlandia in 1899.
In the aftermath of the
February Manifesto
implemented on 15
February 1899 by the
Russian Emperor Nicholas
II, artists expressed
their support for the
press and the freedom of
speech in diverse
cultural events arranged
in Finland in the
beginning of November
1899. A group of artists
joined forces in
arranging a performance
of six historical
tableaus. Jean Sibelius
composed Music for the
Press Celebration Days
for this occasion. After
several revisions, the
music composed for the
last tableau, Suomi heraa
(Finland Awakes), became
known as the tone poem
Finlandia op. 26. As an
independent work
Finlandia quickly became
part of the repertoire
and is now one of the
most frequently played
and best known works by
Sibelius. Today there are
quite a number of
arrangements of this
popular composition. The
original version is now
published in our
established
Urtext-quality based on
the complete edition Jean
Sibelius Works.Compatible
with the study score PB
