I played the Bass Trombone part for this piece for the Kentucky All State Symphony Orchestra, and I have to say that this is just simply amazing!

I once played this song when I a young 7th grade student in the Orchestra. And it truly is the best song I've ever played...

Finlandia, Op. 26 is a symphonic poem by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The first version was written in 1899, and it was revised in 1900. The piece was composed for the Press Celebrations of 1899, a covert protest against increasing censorship from the Russian Empire, as the last of seven pieces, each performed as an accompaniment to a tableau depicting episodes from Finnish history.
The premiere was on 2 July 1900 in Helsinki with the Helsinki Philharmonic Society (From Wikipedia)

One of the most beautiful musics ever written .
It gains even more significance when the circumstances in which
it was written is known by who listens to it .
