I concur, Finlandia choir should be sung the way sibelius composed all his works, fresh pure water when everybody around him offered up elaborate ccocktails
I dont understand a single word but thats by far the most beautiful hymn I've ever heard. You can really feel the emotions in there, gives me a shiver.
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,1 the threat of night has now been driven away. The skylark calls across the light of morning, the blue of heaven lets it have its sound, and now the day the powers of night is scorning: thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours! Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest thy head now crowned with mighty memory. Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest that thou hast thrown off thy slavery, beneath oppression's yoke thou never liest. Thy morning's come, O Finland of ours!
The place is the main hall of the Helsinki central railway station, and a large part of the singers were from Ylioppilaskunnan laulajat (YL, University singers) and Polyteknikkojen kuoro (Polytech choir), the by far most well known male choirs in Finland. The conductor in this video is Pasi Hyökki, YL's artistic director.
@@dimapez He was good enough. No doubt about it. He wrote what was in his heart and, like a lot of geniuses, feared others might not understand or appreciate what he wished to convey. He is a composer any nation would be proud to call their own. 🙏🏼❤️
It can be difficult for non-Finns to properly understand the impact Jean Sibelius and the Finlandia Hymn had on Finland's independence movement. Sibelius captured the mood of an entire people that had, patiently, been a province of other empires for a very long time, but was ready to be a new nation. Every time I watch this video, tears come to my eyes, with pride. Finland started poor - and weak - and now it is strong, comfortable, and stable. Suomi - our heart for Finns still there, and for Finns overseas - we are all one, and we are so proud of what our people have done and overcome.
I moved away from Finland about 5 years ago. I regularly come to listen this and cry my eyes out. Finland has it¨s challenges and the weather is what it is but I have come to love, for lack of a better expression, the "Finnish spirit". Even though these are often idealized there is something so beautiful and unique about how a poor populace rose to be one of the most advanced nations through honest work, egalitarian values and stoic perseverance. It is sad to see these values eroded via using peoples ignorance to further hateful xenophobic populist rhetoric and austerity measures directed towards the poor :/
M mayuge Japan has great flash mobs, incredible flash mobs too Hey could I ask you something? See the girl on my profile she is Minatozaki Sana she is Japanese from Twice do you Know her?
Good! That means they probably failed at what they aimed for. They work against their own interest with this video. But what I said is happening. It is their goal to not directly attack patriotism or independence celebration but to re-define it. Finnishness has nothing to do with multiculturalism or tolerance but that is what they are trying to make it into. Patriotism is the love for your country and defending the interest of your own people. But now if you say that you're not a "patriot" but a "nazi". Finland gained independence in 1917 so next year in 2017 it's the 100th anniversary. I don't know if I should eagerly wait for the celebration or prepare to see something very depressing when it's actually all about refugees and tolerance again and not about celebrating our nation and its independence and culture. The official cabinet in charge of financing different events and projects for the anniversary consists of leftists and even has a far-left rap artist who waves around Antifa flags in his music videos (???). They have already spent hundreds of thousands of euros on refugee and multiculture-related projects instead of actually financing something related to Finns... Antifa in Finland uses, as its symbols, images like a man putting the Finnish flag into a trash can and a fist breaking apart the coat of arms of Finland and the symbol of our police. That is the kind of people who are chosen for whatever reason to finance our independence celebration. Not someone who loves our country.
I don't know the Finish lyrics. But we sing these in English: This is my song, O God of all the nations, a song of peace for lands afar and mine; this is my home, the country where my heart is; here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine: but other hearts in other lands are beating with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine. My country's skies are bluer than the ocean, and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine; but other lands have sunlight too, and clover, and skies are everywhere as blue as mine: O hear my song, thou God of all the nations, a song of peace for their land and for mine.
This sort of love for country and countrymen - so beautifully expressed - is sorely in need, no matter what country one calls home. Thanks for reminding us what it looks and sounds like.
Actually made me cry. Must have woken my Finnish roots! I was in that station two years ago. I visited Finland, Estonia and Russia on an ancestral journey. One of the best trips of my life.
Don't you never ever forget your roots here in Finland or elsewhere also, that is what you are now with your family has raised you. No matter where you are, your origin should never be forgotten
Proud of Finland, I had the opportunity to go there as an exchange student and it was the best experience of my life. Didn't expect the central station to have such good acoustics :)
You are absolutely right, mate. This is an exerpt from the symphonic poem Finlandia (op. 26) by Jean Sibelius. Composed in 1899-1900, almost two decades before we finally gained our independence.
My favorite youtube of this piece. I just played it on bowed psaltery with a Celtic group for a Peace March in northern Michigan, USA. Thank you, people. The very best part is the smile on that little girl's face at the beginning.
That was absolutely beautiful and moved me to tears! I've only ever heard orchestral versions of Finlandia, so this was stunning. I can't thank you enough for the gift x
dear god, its so beautiful it brings me to tears, thou im only half finnish in blood my heart beats for suomi a nation not afraid of being proud of who they are, HYVÄ SUOMI! KAUNIS SUOMI!
Tackar Dennis, den här Jean Sibelius låt betyder så mycket och det finns så mycket känslor med äldre människor men också många av ungdomar har starka känslor när man hör det här låten, altt för sällan (Förlåt min dåligt svenska men jag försökte åtminstone) Ha det bra där i Sverige Komissaren Beck och Wallander vad vi älskar här, så vi glömmer inte svenska so fort
It's this tune and anthem that encapsulate what Finns and Finland are all about! Congratulations for the 100th anniversary of your Declaration of Independance!
My highschool band at Bayview Secondary School in Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada played Finlandia by Sebelius when I was a kid in the mid-70s and, even though I cannot understand any of the words, that stirring tune still makes my blood flow faster. Glory to Ukraine and well done Finn Flash-Mob!
Today,may8 , 2022 , a young prime female minister of Finland visited Japan We are deeply grateful, delighted, and moving Many Japanese deeply love and respect Sibelius and Finland people May Finlandbe glorious, prosperous, and peaceful From A corner of Tokyo where spring is in full bloom🇯🇵㊗️
Thank you so much. I have worked with Japanese people and have a lot of dear Japanese friends. I have always felt togetherness with Japanese people. Sending all my love and best wishes from Finland
I can honestly say that we consider the Japanese kindred spirits in a way. A culture of hard work ethic and reserved representation and appreciation for cleanliness and order, with a strong passion for whatever a person chooses to dedicate their life to. I was fortunate enough to spend a month traveling Japan and it's definitely one of the best places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting.
If i happened to walk thru there while they were singing, I would totally have participated. This song is literally living in my blood and the lyrics makes silences me every time.
Wow! Outstanding voices. What a powerful two minutes. I grew up in the US singing (and loving) Sibelius' stunningly beautiful tune as part of an English-language church hymn. To hear it here, in Helsinki, like this? WOWOW.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit wistful, I listen/watch this amazing rendition of Sibelius' Finlandia. Every note is sung with such feeling, it is such a moving song.
Finland, behold, your day has now come dawning; Banished is night, its menace gone with light, Larks' song again in morning-brightness ringing, Filling the air to heaven's great height, And morning's glow, night's darkness overcoming; Your day is come, o my native land. O Finland, rise, stand proud, the future facing, Your valiant deeds recalling, once again; O Finland rise, in the world's sight erasing From your fair brows vile slavery's stain. You were not broken by oppressors ruling; Your morn has come, o my native land.
Could you please say something about where these beautiful words came from. I would truly appreciate anything I could know. They are sweet inspiration to my soul. Thank You so much....Sam in East Texas.
@@driverain2 The melody is written by Jean Sibelius in 1899, during the times of Russian oppression. This was later complemented by the lyrics (typically sung by a male choir) by V. A. Koskenniemi. The original works written by Sibelius were symphonic poems about the tribulations of the Finnish people, mixed in with some of our folklore. The lyrics to this particular hymn were written in 1940, after the winter war against Soviet Russia.
It brings me to tears too and I'm an American from Philadelphia, the birth place of freedom in a country which endured slavery at it inception. It's called -"This is my song" in our our Daily Mass hymnals with credit to Jean Sibelius .I know about the Russo-Finnish war and the bravery the Finns showed against the Russians. Every time It's played at Mass, I sing it but can't make it through our translation where it says other countries have skies as blue as my country. This line just exemplifies the brotherhood which should exist between different countries of the world. And to think of all the wars which were fought over stupid things and the lives which were lost fighting those wars. So, what I say is let them listen to this song and see if they would wage war and if they would start a war,let them fear bravery and honor like the Finns showed in 1939.
+Daniel Wilson --I said THE BIRTHPLACE OF FREEDOM IN A COUNTRY(USA) - not the world,lol this. Are you quick to comment and laugh at Americans Daniel Wilson ?
LOL indeed, freedom! What's that? Never feeling that before, I don't even know what that word means. Do you? "None are more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free." - JWVG - Exactly. And of course. What John Adams say a long time ago, that reminds me that what the world has ALWAYS been, by the - cults, societies, governments, organizations, countries and of course biggest jokes - religions. "There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by sword, the other is by debt." - John Adams. That sounds so familiar, nothing hasn't changed. I will sing that beautiful song of our country, which is on this video, when all those things has fall, which is never. I did born here as slave, and I will die here as slave.
Philadelphia is the area where Finns first settled in what's now the USA. It was within the Swedish colony in the colonial time already. Finns are said to have had good relationships with the indigenous people. Both respected nature, and knew how to live in the woods with a respect towards the nature. When Philadelphia was founded, it was a common effort by the Dutch, English and Swedes + Finns. John Morton (rendered from Mårtensson, Marttinen the Finnish original -'Martins' or the kind) from that Finnish community gave the decisive vote for the birth of the US, the Pennsylvania vote. He was also the chairman of the legislative committee, when they made the first laws, the constitution: the Articles of Confederation. At least so says Wiki. Well, he was a lawyer of the supreme court, so should be legit.
I lived in Springfield, one half a kilometer away from Morton, Pa. In Philadelphia I have driven past Old Swedes Church on Front street 1000 times. The City of Philadelphia's flag is yellow and blue in Tribute to the Swedes. Never knew Finns were included with the Swede Immigration to Philly, but it makes sense.
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' seppelöimä suurten muistojen, oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle sa että karkoitit orjuuden ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle, on aamus' alkanut, synnyinmaa.
Very power yet very sad . Even sitting here in FL I could feel it!

I always felt patriotic for Finland I don't know why. Probably a finnish would look weird at me when I would tell him I'm romanian and yeah you know there's a big cultural difference between nordic and balkan nations, but I swear to you I love Finland and I fucking love finnish language.
Vuosia sitten isäni näytti tämän minulle ja vielä tänäkin päivänä palaan katsomaan koko viedeon aina uudelleen. Eniten voi olla ylpeä siitä että miten monet ihmiset heittäytyivät mukaan ja lauloivat sydämestään❤
I've never heard the original words to this, in Wales we sing "Gweddi Dros Gymru" to this tune, and has always been one of my favourites, it gives me goosebumps
It doesn't actually have original words. It was composed by Sibelius without words, but still the Russian authorities didn't like it much because they understood it was used in contexts promoting Finnish resistance to the Russian oppression/Russification. If it had had lyrics like this back then, I imagine folks would have been arrested for inciting rebellion against the Russian empire. Consequently these particular lyrics are from 1940, right after the Winter War. There exist different lyrics, from different countries, like you noted. From what I've understood, Sibelius himself was never thrilled about any lyrics on principle, but a little bit grudgingly he accepted them.
Tämä oli ihan loistava tempaus, kiitos! Kylmät väreet nousivat pintaan laulun aikana, Haavisto-kannatus tuli yllätyksenä. Mikä olisi hienompaa kuin se, että mollaamisen sijasta Niinistöläiset lähtisivät kilpalauluun! Kiitos Niinistöläisille kehuista ja torut niille jotka tätä esitystä mollasivat.
This amount of instant brotherhood gained by singing is similar to Liverpool FC’s ‘you’ll never walk alone’ which is sure to bring a tear to anyone’s eye . I’m from Liverpool and I’m learning to learn finnish as I might move to Tampere, this video shows how close finnish people are together and how much of a bond everyone has for each other. I fully respect the people who organised this , kiitos ja ‘encore’ ole hyvä!
Much love to your home in Finland. I hope you find ppl who can speak real English, and I hope all the volume in your Finnish learning. Saatat hämmästyä kielemme kiemuroita🙂
