Jean Sibelius's Finlandia is one of the few things I knew of Finland before starting to compile this geography book for kids. And I only knew it from church years ago: I'd liked to sing the hymn set to its melody.
Nice enough, but wow: this version played on a harp guitar by Jason Carter is amazing--I bought the album it's on: In and Out of Time.
I wonder if he'd like to appear on our "Herring for Christmas" music video...

Wow, what an awesome instrument. I like that hymn, too.
Isn't it COOL?!
Lovely as a hymn, yeah. Now, if only we Americans had a national anthem we could sing...
