Description: Settings of, or works inspired by, Finnish hymn-tunes, ranging from the simple and solemn (Krohn) to the politically motivated (Merikanto’s 1899 reaction to a Russian assault on Finnish autonomy), to the suitable-for-recital (especially Parviainen and Gustafsson). Tomi Satomaa (organs of Nauvo, Korppoo and Parainen churches).
