About this item
Expose your students to a wide variety of styles and moods, all within one powerful piece! After a stark, chromatic opening, a festive section based on a variety of fanfare-like motifs is heard. The energy eventually subsides, making way for what has become one of the most famous chorales in the orchestral repertoire. After its first statement by woodwinds, the entire orchestra soon picks up this pleading, patriotic melody, and a glorious coda brings the piece to an exciting end.

Composer
Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)
Jean Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957) was a Finnish composer of the later Romantic period whose music played an important role in the formation of the Finnish national identity. His mastery of the orchestra has been described as "prodigious."
The core of Sibelius's oeuvre is his set of seven symphonies. Like Beethoven, Sibelius used each successive work to further develop his own personal compositional style. His works continue to be performed frequently in the concert hall and are often recorded.
