The Swan of Tuonela by Jean Sibelius

@@mattjohnson9962 Yes, I did notice the title above. Still, thank you anyway.

@@phaasch It is så sad, but beautifull, I am a finish citicent and I love our Sibelius, and we are very melancolius, thats why we love our Jean. But especially in these days man should hear something else music, only that we dont think sad things, like war and så on, have a good time!

cool

@@eirarodriguez6035 in Finnish mythology Tuonela is the empire of the dead and according to this, Sibelius composed it in melancholias way

Brett Hess: Looking back at the days gone by.

For some reason, my darkest times are the most nostalgic ones

The sadness is so deep, the repeated cries of anguish so profound, that it is indeed exhilarating. I realize the truth of the statement that the function of art is to make us feel "not alone."

... Ironic since this is the loneliest and saddest of music.

Maseru Emoto, the one who discovered that water crystals pick up emotion, claims in his book "Water Crystal Healing: Music and Images to Restore Your Well-Being" that this piece is a cure for worry and anxiety. That's what brought me here. And now I believe it. I thought Debussy and Delius were the only ones who could write like this. Inexpressibly beautiful.

My compliments on your excellent taste in music. The Swan is in a class by itself.

I love this piece. But, I'm disappointed that so many listeners think of it as full of "sadness". I don't. To me, it is completely, totally, about beauty - supreme beauty.

Thank you so much for the explanation. Very interesting.

Thank you! Loved this since I was a child .

But it seems dead at the end ?

Philip Kelly: You're right. The video is a distraction.

I JUST LOVE IT WHEN IGNORANCE SPEAKS ... DON'T YOU ??? IF YOU JUST LEAN BACK AND CLOSE YOUR EYES, THEN THERE ARE NO DISTRACTIONS FOR YOU TO WAIL ABOUT !!

i agree it is heavenly and other worldly somehow. it also feels macabre and melancholic,, a black swan on the river that the dead have to cross to the underworld..

Or anyone.

Same for me!😢

I'm so glad that a few people have said something about the story behind this music. I had no idea at all about this. Thank you all he shed light on this wonderful, sublime music

I feel with you!

The swan is the legendary bearer (or guide) of the dead to the afterlife.

It is a divine music,it calms every worry.thanks for the above info.love+light to all.

That book is what brought me here today. ❤️

La otra vida de Billy Fingers es mi libro de cabecera♥

"Infinitely eerie": that's a good descriptive for Sibelius. He's recognizable, and almost immediately. I had that kind of experience at an SFSO concert in Louise Davies Hall, SF. We were in a loge box and the person in front of us turned to me and asked what encore MTT had just conducted. My response was, "I don't know that piece. But, I'm certain it was by Jean Sibelius; maybe from Lemmenkainen or Pohjola's Daughter (it definitely wasn't that)".

Lawrence Carroll: True statement.

In the old Finnish mythology we don't actually have a lake of death, we have a river of death, Tuonelan virta, which separates Tuonela, the land of the death, from the land of the living. The Swan of Tuonela swims in that river.

@@patrickuotinen , ah! Thank you for that enlightening knowledge! It is always a joy to find out more about such things.🙏🏻

Sibelius considered Karajan being a congenious interpretator of his works in general...

Ukko is magnificent, isn't he?

YUP.

not to take away from this haunting video/music--but the swan in finnish mythology is black--not white--

So it’s an Australian swan, then!

@@windstorm1000 No, it's a white swan in a black river.

Correct, it's nice to know someone who not only appreciates but actually knows it's meaning!!!!!

We are europa

I agree, they would be so fitting.

Y melancolia!

Se joutsen on oikeastaan musta

@Sophie And Tuoni is the God of Death and his realm is (of course) Tuonela and to get there one has to cross the River of Tuonela, and on that River swims a Swan, the Swan of Tuonela, and anybody who wishes that Swan anything bad will have a terrible fate.

@@finnishpagan2911 Infinitely more palatable than the Greek version, I dare say.

@@finnishpagan2911 Is this based on Lemminkäinen's story, where he never manages to kill the swan?

@@finnishpagan2911 - Thank you for that information as appropriately I wish this piece to be played at my funeral.

Hello Poseidos ocea! Thank you for your answer. As I know, THE SWAN OF TUONELA is part of Finland Mythology. And, in that mythology, the underword is called TUONELA( as,for example, in greek mythology is called HADES); and there exist a SWAN that received and take the souls of dead people to theirs last voyage. Is like CARONTE in greek mythology. I don't think that is a dream. As you know, the composer JAN SIBELIUS was born in FINLAND and almost all his work is based in Finland and his mythology. I am sure you know, for example, the BEAUTYFUL composition "LUONNOTAR". If not, try to listen and I think YOU WILL LIKE VERY MUCH. Exist a BEAUTYFUL video in YOU TUBE with the translation of the words of the soprano, to english. Once again, THANK YOU for your message and, PLEASE: STAY WELL AND HAPPY. Ciao!...

this song was 19th century

Sibelius died in 1957, in the twentieth century. Also it’s not a song - there are no words, no singers.
