"Finlandia" - Jean Sibelius (four versions!)
"Finlandia" is one of my favorite melodies - I didn't realize it was written by Sibelius, and I also didn't realize he was Finnish until I looked up this song. Below are four (count them, four!) versions of this beautiful music. First is the song in Finnish - although it is not the national anthem, it is one of the most important national songs of Finland (I also found a cool flashmob of this). Second is Sibelius' symphony. Third is an English, a capella version of the anthem. And last is the tune as the hymn "Be Still My Soul." Enjoy!
