Finland
Much like Norway, whose music was introduced to the world
by Grieg, Finland's popular prose owes its global
fame to Sibelius![Romance in Dm, Op.24 No.4 - Sibelius](../../play.gif) .
Yet unlike Grieg, Sibelius did not persist in using folk musical elements
in his works. And still, he excelled in a musical portrayal of Finland's
unique, endless, sad landscapes.
Sibelius created music based on
ancient Finnish myths, among which is his symphonic
poems
"Finlandia"![Part of 'Finlandia', tone poem Opus 26 by Sibelius](../../playmp3.gif)
, a musical protest against Russia's
attempts to take over Finland, and "Tapiola".
