By Miriam Stockley. By Jean Sibelius, Miriam Arlene Stockley, and Miriam Stockley. Arranged by Dominic McGonigal. Contemporary. Octavo. 3 pages. C8 Music #4361823. Published by C8 Music (A0.924059).The classic Sibelius tune Finlandia has become the unofficial national anthem of Finland. This jazz arrangement is a new twist on a classic, prompted by a kid in one of my ensembles saying, why don't you do a jazz version of Finlandia - so I did. The tune comes out well, with the same sense of pride mixed with poignancy. It's suitable for intermediate singers and above. I can do bespoke arrangements for other combinations on request. See www.dominicmcgonigal.com
Finlandia did not originally have words. Finnish lyrics were added, written by V A Koskenniemi. They were accepted by Sibelius as the official libretto in 1942.
The English words are from a hymn "We Would Be One" written for the Unitarian Universalists.
This arrangement has both Finnish and English words.
