A beautiful piece played on a very special fox special Wurlitzer organ, that surely must be one of if not the best of its breed? This is a threatre organ that has had a lot of love and care to make it what it is today!
Well if you're going to spread crap reasoning like that, let me clue you in on a couple details. The setting of the middle section of Finlandia, though not based on traditional Finnish folk tunes, did become Finland's preëminant popular Aire/anthem. Two separate lyricists were inspired to write hymn texts for the theme for people to sing. Sorry to inform you that Finlandia's composer, Jean Sibelius was also a deeply religious man! So, Christianity didn't steal it, it was just destined to become a anthem/hymn tune. And thank God for that because today, most people around the world know it as a hymn rather than in its original form as part of a classical piece for symphony orchestra.
I have absolutely no words, just perfect music, perfect organ and perfect player, thanks for a wonderful experience 😍😍😍👍👍👍

This does a great job of showing the theatre capabilities of this organ but also the lesser heard classical side that can be played too.
The middle section is also known by the title, "Be Still My Soul", a great Christian hymn.
Mark Demmin II, The Vintage Voice Finlandia was first. Christianity stole it.
