Jean Sibelius - Karelia - Intermezzo I

[@BarryWalker-r2b]

Sibelius is a great composer. I'm not Finnish but I just love his music. I've told my children I'd like this piece played at my funeral a great way to bow out with fabulous music ringing in their ears.

[@Eira-vt5tl]

Hyvä ystäväni, älä puhu kuolemasta, tänä sota-aikana, asun tässä Helsingi, pääkaupungimme lähellä, ja Sibeliuksen koti on todella lähellä kodistani 2 kilometriä, Järvenpää on kaupungin nimi, 40 kilometriä pääkaupungista, siis, jos tulet joskus Suomeen voin opastaa.

This was the theme tune for UK politics show in the 1970s called This Week, Whenever I hear this it takes me back to my childhood. Even as a child I knew this was a Classic and it turned my head everytime.

[@eddiewillers1]

And that's where I heard it first - all the way back in the pre-decimal days. I had to wait until You Tube to find out what it was called.

I grew up in New Zealand in the 1970's- about as far away from Finland as you can be. This was played in the morning when the T.V started up for the day with scenes from the New Zealand countryside- it worked surprisingly well and because of that I know who Sibelius was.

@abcde 12345 Sibelius oli hyvin isänmaallinen ja kansallismielinen mies, sitä ei ole kukaan piilotellut, siitä ei vain nykyään puhuta. Olen täysin varman että kansallinen henki on mahdollistanut osaltaan Sibeliuksen tuotannon ja hän olisi halunnut juuri sitä, että synkimpinä aikoina suomalaiset saavat voimaa tästä musiikista.

IIs there anyone out there who can not tap their feet during the rhythmic, foot tapping, swelling, exciting part which comes after the "What's this leading up to?" anticipation of the introduction of the piece? I certainly can't. I then enjoy the gradual return to the state I was in before the start, feeling a little better about the world. I appreciate the uploading

[@BrucesPhonograph]

Sibelius had a real "feel" for the lands of the north, especially geologically ancient shield areas of which Finland is one of, the Precambrian Finnoscandanavian Shield. Here in North America we have similar ancient, glaciated landscapes of the vast Canadian Shield of Canada and the northern parts of the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. I current live near the edge of the Ozark Uplift in Missouri and parts of the Ozarks are also areas of ancient Precambrian rocks which can also invoke Sibelius music.

Well, Sibelius is a Finnish Icon and deserves to be so. My father who was born in 1934 in Viipuri, the capital of Karelia, died in 15th September 2012. Karelia is our land, we still legally own the house in Viipuri and our estate in the Isthmus of Carelia. This issue is still unresolved internationally. So please do not think that the issue of Carelia is something of the past and only something that belongs to the sphere of music, it is still very much alive.

For all of we oldies and creaky ones, this is a great piece of music to get through a few stretchy and bendy exercises. A slow build up, gradually rising to a little more strenuous part on the middle, then a pleasant welcome slow down to the end. Best done next to an easy chair to collapse into at the end if necessary. Much better than some of the modern exercise music suited to the young of today. Go on, try it, do try this at home, less than 5 minutes, but don't blame me for any possible unfortunate mishaps
