Sibelius had already written an arrangement of the hymn for male choir on a different text in 1938, but after a suggestion by his publisher Roger Lindberg, he decided to write a version for mixed choir, too, on the by now better known text by Koskenniemi. This version in F Major was published in 1949, but at Breitkopf \u0026amp; Härtel only with a German translation by Hellmuth von Hase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFinlandia-Hymn\u003c\/em\u003e with the Finnish text by Koskenniemi is therefore now available at Breitkopf \u0026amp; Härtel for the first time, as Urtext of the complete edition \u003cem\u003eJean Sibelius Works\u003c\/em\u003e. The edition includes both the version in F Major as well as a second version in A-flat Major, written by Sibelius himself, too, but until now unpublished outside of the complete edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Breitkopf \u0026 Härtel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46038511059023,"sku":"ChB5405","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/1faa7d25fe9678ffe5e11a4b25ac7c8b.jpg?v=1783716168","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/products\/sibelius-finlandia-hymn-version-for-male-choir-breitkopf","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
