I wish they had called it something other than Finlandia. People tend to think this is a translation of the Finlandia Hymn, but it's a whole different song set to the tune of Finlandia.
This is a beautiful song which reaches across boundaries and petty patriotism to speak of the love that everyone should feel for their own land... and therefore of the whole World.
If we had grown up singing this instead of the belligerent and jingoistic national anthems that we're all used to, perhaps this World would be a better place.
I am therefore nominating it as the official anthem of the Peace Movement... and of The World March For Peace And Non-Violence.
It would be more accurate to say that this is a recording of the words written by the poet Lloyd Stone (1912-1993) to the tune of the hymn-like portion of Finlandia, composed by Sibelius in 1899-1900 (which had no words). Lloyd Stone often fails to get credit for these words that he wrote in 1934. The poem has three verses, when sung to the tune from Finlandia, it is usually given the title "A Song of Peace" or "This is My Song."

I actually like this recording of Finlandia more than the performances! Artists always sound better without the metallic sound of microphones.
Missy looks precious sitting there holding her sheet music. Love you guys!
