Jean Sibelius - Finlandia Op. 26.

Finlandia, Op. 26, is a tone poem by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It was written in 1899 and revised in 1900. The piece was the last of seven pieces performed as an accompaniment to a tableau depicting episodes from Finnish history. The premiere was on July 2 1900 in Helsinki with the Helsinki Philharmonic Society conducted by Robert Kajanus. Jean Sibelius (born Dec. 8, 1865, in Hämeenlinna — died Sept. 20, 1957, in Järvenpää) was a Finnish composer, of the late Romantic and early-modern periods. He is widely regarded as his country's greatest composer and the most noted symphonic composer of Scandinavia. Sibelius studied at the Finnish Normal School, the first Finnish-speaking school in Russian-held Finland, where he came into contact with Finnish literature and in particular with the Kalevala, the mythological epic of Finland, which remained for him a constant source of inspiration. Although intended for a legal career, he soon abandoned his law studies at Helsinki, devoting himself entirely to music. At first he planned to become a violinist. Under the guidance of Martin Wegelius he composed much chamber and instrumental music. He adopted the name Jean, which he used throughout his professional career in preference to his baptismal names. In his mid-20s he left Finland to continue his studies in Berlin and Vienna, where his teachers included the composers Robert Fuchs and Karl Goldmark. #classicalmusic #finland #sibelius
