Tone Poem Tuesday

I’ve featured this work before, but on my way to work yesterday I heard it played and I was already thinking that hey, I can just run it again…when I heard something new. Turns out there’s a choral part that isn’t always performed, and it adds a very nice dimension to the work. So here, again, is Jean Sibelius’s wonderful Finlandia, this time with chorus when the big hymn tune starts.
