Just read the prior reviews, I'd not have put this as being a national anthem. It's not a piece I've heard till now. Your interpretation has a sweet opening with that acoustic. I'm impressed with how well layered this is and the power it generates toward the finish. Nice work

Well done...I thought I'd got to this...maybe I did hear it I'm sure...thought I reviewed it...this tune, being from my Mother country ( I have dual citizenship). You do it so well with invention, that Sibelius would say how great an interpretation it is. Very powerful; DYNAMIC! I always get a lump in my throat, when I here this, never heard it done so clever, never heard a rough version, always heard a good celebration felt rendition. Thanks for sharing...never to late. I put this in my faves. You're a masterful player Doctor C...WONDERFUL.
Take care. I've heard you playing in collabs,. figured it was time to get here again.
Take care my good friend always. kIITOS PALJON-Vesa.

Hey Doc, It's getting to be more like home here everyday. The first time I heard Finlandia was when my father said "son ... this is great music". You see, we are from Finland. The recording I heard was done on an accordian, but sounded huge ... like a pipe organ. I love your take on this. Some day I'll have to finish the version I started.

Another great composition.
Very nice acoustic guitar work.
It does have a europeabn feel to the song's structure...
Their popular music has a vibe all of it's own...
Again,great synth work.
An enjoyable listen mate :)

Ah remember this fondly from mixposure. Love the overall feel of what you've done here and the beautiful bubbling keyboard stabs and gorgeous hammond runs always bring a smile to my face. And the big anthemic crescendo makes me wish we had a better national anthem than Advance Australia Fare. Great fun. I already have it downloaded from the mixpo days but couldn't resist giving it aother review. Cheers, Brian

Thank y'all for the kind words! I didn't know but Gary Carciello told me that the day I posted this track was the Independence Day in Finland. What a coincidence! Well, happy holidays to all Finnish people!

Nicely recorded -- the acoustic and that outrageous synth thing are perfect. Sounds like you had a lot of fun on this. In fact, there ought to be a law against something this cool.

Nice job and a very enjoyable listen.

Doc love the sound of the acoustic and the bass line is very tasty. This song just flows along so nicely picking up passengers along the way :)

Very cool tune!

I don't know what you're doing in this... but I LIKE IT !
A really interesting choice of instrumentation - somewhat whimzical - along a classical Hymn format. It's wild - it's complex, and it makes me grin.
