This song is like Finlands history in a nutshell. In a first part you can hear Russian oppression and fighting. Then victory comes. And the choir sings how a new day is rising and we are free. Shortly it is an ode to our independence.
Just to be clear, we lost the war and were forced to cede a lot of our border areas and connection to Arctic Sea to Soviet Union. However, we made the war so inconvenient to USSR that we managed to keep our independence.
@@ElComanchero Just to be clear: Finlandia was composed 1899. And it's telling about Russian oppression and surviving. Words to the hymn part are newer.
@haneski8020 Yup, just pointing to your words "...Russian opression and fighting. Then victory comes". For someone who is looking at the Hymn's lyrics and doesn't know the timeline, that could seem like we Finns achieved a "victory" in some war. In WWII, we sort of did and kind of didn't. Of course, Russian opression had been going on for centuries at that time, so your point about Finlandia being an ode to our freedom is in point.
So much strength and beauty from such a tiny country. Thank you for sharing this one. 🇫🇮
Like you said "the audience just listens" it's beacuse finnish people appricciate and feel the song so deeply. Expecially the choir part. The words are about how finland such a small country fought against russia and all that to keep its independence and showed the world that there may not be alot of us but we sure can fight for our home. Its really beautiful and gets me crying everytime
Finland ❤
That is a very important piece of finnish music. Every adult in our country knows this one and the meaning of it. I don't like when people make covers of it like "this is my song".This song has one meaning and that is it. But that's to a finnish person. Maybe something else for somebody else.
Always makes me tearing up/crying while listening to this...

Finlandia
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its sound,
and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!
Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest
thy head now crowned with mighty memory.
Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest
that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,
beneath oppression's yoke thou never liest.
Thy morning's come, O Finland of ours!
"you did not bend under slavery your dawn has come o land of birth"
The conductor is Jukka-Pekka Saraste, one of Finland's famous new-generation conductors, like Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Finland is not just metal bands !
Classical music is the OG metal!
This song is about raising above slavery, getting rid of the shackles and winning your freedom. Very universal theme, but told from Finnish perspective after centuries of oppression from Russia. Swedes ruled here too their own time, but in the end, they are more like brothers to us, so it is enough to beat them in every game, contest and sport, just to see that look of disappoitment and humiliation.
Say what we may but Finland got its rule of law and its Judeo-Christian values during the Swedish rule, maintaining its free land-owning peasantry. We never had the Russian serfdom and their negligible respect of laws. In 1939-44 Finnish Army was substantially formed of free peasantry which was well motivated to defend the country. On the opposite side there was an army of serfs ...
Many Finnish children were abducted by Russians and sold to slavery, even see slavery to Ottoman empire. There are so many different ways to enslave people and try to crush them.
I know by heart this so beautiful and touching piece of music ...in this case the most interesting thing is to look at this simpathic black young man listening to this music ...looking to his face is a demonstration of the power of music...it demontrates too that it arrives directly to the soul of the human being.... it is like this ..i sometimes cries when i listen to this piece. Its power of evocation is very strong...
Täma saa jopa kovan pojan itkemään) this make Even badboy cry)😭😭😭🖤
So very nice
Its great! IMO the next greatest by sibelius is the finale (part IV) from the 2nd symphony, especially from halfway onwards.
Did You know that this masterpiece is playing in Die Hard 2 End Titles?
That's 2 masterpieces in price of one! It's also in one episode of walking dead.
Director Renny Harlin is Finnish.
"Finlandia" also played during one of the siege battle in "The Walking Dead" tv series in order to lure in the walkers.
Lyrics are roughly:
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its way,
and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!
Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest
thy head now crowned with mighty memory.
Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest
that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,
beneath oppression´s yoke thou never liest.
Thy morning´s come, O Finland of ours!
Got a kool live Sibelius album by the divine TARJA ☮☮💘💘☮☮💘💘
Yes it a bit weird to watch after seeing things like The Eras Tour, where the fans write lyrics and Taylor puts them in her records!
Classical music is also pop music...of its day. I recommend watching the movie Amadeus. It's classical music and the story behind his life (not a happy ending). But there's also humor and it's worth a watch! You'll hear snippets of songs that you know, you just didn't connect the name and the music.
Yes, classical music events are like that. People wait to clap and here in NYC? There are huge, I mean HUGE VATS of cough drops in the entry. If you walk out of a performance, you're not getting back in until there's a break in the piece. So I can understand why people find classical music to be intimidating but watch Amadeus. It's about Mozart and he was a character! Tom Hulce did an amazing job at playing him. Immortal Beloved is from the same era and is about Beethoven. It's a bit more graphic but accessible.

🇫🇮❤️✨
Ps love from Finland my g👊❤️
Hyvä suami.😮
Finlandia-hymn, is world known. Maybe you heard with you mother in church?
Note: this is the piece that was composed by Sibelius under Russian occupation, years after Russia had invaded and subjugated Finland, deporting thousands of Finns to Siberia. (Much like what Putin is doing to Ukraine right now.)
The music is about Finns overcoming Russia's brutal occupation and Finland regaining its independence, even when there appears no hope of doing so.
