Jean Sibelius' famous ode to his home country, Finlandia is here arranged for wind ensemble. From the foreboding opening in the brass, to the sweeping middle theme (known to many as the hymn "This Is Our Song") intoned by the upper woodwinds, Finlandia serves as a favorite concert overture of audiences and ensembles alike. Instrumentation: 2fl+pic/2ob/3cl+Ebcl+bcl+cbcl/4sax/2bn+cbn; 4hn/3tp/3tbn/eu/tuba; bass; timp/1perc. Approx. 8 min.
