"The Peddler's Song" - a Finnish-Karelian Folk Song

[hwilbert47]

This is not a Finnish-Karelian Folk Song!

It is a product of a Karelianism, late 19th century cultural phenomenon in the Grand Duchy of Finland, a part of Russian Empire. Composer is a finnish-swede Oskar Merikanto (father Frank Mattsson) and lyrics are from ethnic swede Karl Gustaf Larson (Larin-Kyosti).

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. This past Sunday (June 22), I played for our closing hymn We All Are One in Mission. It is #576 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship in the Vocation, Ministry section. It is wriiten by Rusty Edwards and set to the Finnish folk tune, KUORTANE. Just thought I'd share.
