Sibelius: Lemminkainen in Tuonela, Part 1

Tuonela is considered to be the the realm of the dead or the Underworld in Finnish mythology, similar to Hades in Greek mythology. I have really began to like Sibelius's music! I used to only judge a composer by about 2 of his compositions, but now I try and listen to more so I can really get to know the music of a composer. I have found that with Sibelius. I used to think his music is strange, hard to listen to and boring, but now, after listening to quite a few of his pieces, I have found joy in listening to his music. I hope to do the same with other composers, such as Ottorino Respighi, Elgar, Nielsen and others I hope you enjoy this piece!
