Jane Borthwick, Katharina von Schlegel (texte)
[mix ch] durée: 9'
Description
The anthem from the tone poem Finlandia op. 26 for orchestra is one of Jean Sibelius' best-known pieces and, with the text by Veikko Antero Koskenniemi, became the unofficial national anthem of Finland (ChB 5371). The piece, which is also very popular outside the country, was additionally published in a German translation by Hellmuth von Hase and with various English texts. The best known of these is “Be still, my soul” by Jane Borthwick (1813–1897), which she wrote in 1855 as a translation of the hymn “Stille, mein Wille, dein Jesus hilft siegen” by Katharina von Schlegel (1697–1768). With Sibelius' melody, “Be still, my soul” became widely known as a hymn in the Anglo-American world and has been sung regularly in church services ever since.
Breitkopf & Härtel has published five versions for different scorings such as female choir for two and three voices, male choir, single male voice and mixed choir for four voices, all with a piano accompaniment by Alan Boustead.
