That's not just a "Song" .. Thats, excuse me, - that's the soul of Scandinavia - and also the soul of the finland and svedish and danske and also the norwegian, german and other countrys!- and, it is the soul of a free, defensive strong whole Europe in common ! Finlandia - it's Europe !

[@carlabroderick5508]

Never heard such a large all male choir, beautiful, deep and rich.

[@ПророкМухоед]

Be proud of your heritage and culture!

[@RaymondJones-xk8wv]

As a true Welshman, I can only say that I found this male choir rendition absolutely fantastic, and second to none. Thank you gentlemen.

[@Cellalu]

so beautiful. I am crying.

[@bnktopa]

I awe this choir. Deep, rich sound and the pronunciation is on point. This is impeccable.

[@sylarkane8883]

Thank you. From Finland.

[@noriemeha]

About twenty years ago I was in Prague on business. I wandered off for a break from work into the Old Town Square where there was a choir festival underway. One male voice choir performed this and I found I was reduced to tears within its first verse. I can hardly listen now without an embarrassing reoccurrence.

[@kristiinaparkkisenniemi8680]

Awesome! Cannot listen without tears!

For many Finns like me, this is absolutely gorgeous. Our Scandinavian fellows have done amazing job to pronounce Finnish like they were natives, even though our language is completely different than that of other Scandinavian countries. Hats off to you.

[@HoseTheBeast]

This might be a finnish choir… there was a few finnish choirs in this festival like the description says.

[@martinartwell1289]

You can see in the video description. 6 different choir academies from Finland performed. I'm guess you're looking at all of them together

Finlandia Hymn Jean Sibelius Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa Sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle Pääs seppälöimä suurten muistojen Oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle Sä että karkoitit orjuuden Ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle On aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa

[@appleciderhorror12]

Oh Finland, look, your dawn has come The danger of night has been exiled And the skylark of morning sings in the brightness As if the firmament is reverberating The powers of night, the light of morning already won over Your dawn comes, oh birthland Oh arise, Finland, lift up high Your head, wreathed with great memories Oh arise, Finland, you showed the world That you exiled slavery And that you didn't bend under oppression Your dawn has come, birthland (or something like that)

[@marianoalojado2202]

However, Finlandia of Jan Sibelius is not SOUMI's National Anthem. Is it not?

[@MrSkinkarde]

Oh Finland look the day at last is dawning Your night of danger now is driven away The morning skylark in the sunlight soaring Seems heaven’s song’s come to greet this day As night-time powers are banished by the morning A new day dawns in our native land Oh Finland rise and lift your head to glory And proudly wear your memories’ shining crown Oh Finland rise and tell to all the story Of how the yoke of slavery was thrown And since you would not bend beneath oppressiom This new day dawns for our native land.

[@MrSkinkarde]

@@marianoalojado2202 it always will be our unofficial anthem.

Bellísimo himno una pieza profunda solemne y cantabile. Mi admiración

[@PavelDGromnic]

I certainly do wish that Sibelius could see this, with this many people singing his work. So many creators pass away before they are able to see the victory of their work that I think it must always be so. But here it it is.

As a person who appreciates great voices, great harmony, and music that isn't just the twang of an electric guitar, I don't understand why people listen to the junk that dominate the music stations all over the world. How can anybody not love this song?

[@Cyndark1]

This song is so beautiful, but let's not gatekeep music. It's about expression, and to each their own.

Finnish lyrics of the Finlandia hymn (V. A. Koskenniemi), translated: O Finland, see: Thy day is dawning The threat of night has already been banished And the lark of morning sings in the brightness As if the vault of heaven itself was singing The reign of night is already being conquered by the whiteness of morning Thy day is dawning, O fatherland O rise, Finland, raise up high Thy head, wreathed by great memories O rise, Finland, Thou showed the world That Thou banished enslavement And that Thou didn't bend under repression Thy morning has begun, fatherland

[@ginnyvibes]

Here's another very high level performance of an arrangement for just eight voices, in English. Exquisite. After I heard it, I searched for a version in Finnish and found this moving mass choir of Nordic men. Here is the smaller mixed voices group: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4nSoHd_jLuFkNU

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I have been going down a Finlandia rabbit hole today and found two excellent Flash Mob versions, one a Finnish women's choir and one a Finnish men's choir and both versions were stunning. Here is the link to the women's choir: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqfUZZ-Ppd2Lis0 I particularly appreciate that they chose to sing it in the middle of the Hague. I would love to have the experience to sing this as a flash mob.

Piano notes. When you have a large choir, its important to be on time.

It's the historic hymn of the Finns, but not necessarily of the other Nordic countries.
