Many pieces in the history of music have nature as a referent. Symphonies, symphonic poems, woodland scenes, concertos, sonatas. More than describing nature, music helps to imagine it, to perceive its immanent, mysterious essence. The third movement of Gioacchino Rossini’s String Sonata No. 6 is named “The Storm” as one important reference of this relationship. But the Nordic authors also wanted to capture the majesty of their nature and their homeland. This is the case of the symphonic poem Finlandia by Jean Sibelius.
