Sibelius
|
Finland
Much like Norway, whose music was introduced to the world
by Grieg, Finland's popular prose owes its global
fame to Sibelius.
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"
, a musical protest against Russia's
attempts to take over Finland, and "Tapiola".
