Just made me weep. So I did some digging about the composer Sebelius. He wrote Finlandia while the nation was under Russian oppression. The woman Katherina Schlegel was a German Lutheran poet and hymn writer. Be Still My Soul was published in 1752. The music of Finlandia was used as the music to her hymn. Schelegel wrote at a time of Christian revival in Germany. If you want a BEAUTIFUL tour of Finland in 9 minutes go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRE6ychlM00<br /><br />Finlandia is rendered by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and you will hear the hymn in the second half.<br /><br />ShariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287195800598851259.post-84076231474959006352012-06-05T17:14:51.779-07:002012-06-05T17:14:51.779-07:00Jen,- we are kindred souls.Jen,- we are kindred souls.Susan Sundwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747706680849311882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287195800598851259.post-50910868973653815102012-06-05T05:47:26.931-07:002012-06-05T05:47:26.931-07:00Sue,
