Lemminkäinen in Tuonela in F-sharp minor, Op. 22/3

The Lemminkäinen Suite (also named Four Legends or Four Legends from the Kalevala), Op. 22, is a four-movement symphonic poem for orchestra completed in 1895 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The piece was originally conceived as Veneen luominen (The Building of the Boat), an opera with a mythological setting, before the work took form as a suite. Its story is based on the heroic character Lemminkäinen from the Kalevala, a collection of Finnish folklore and mythology epic poetry. The second movement, The Swan of Tuonela, is the most popular of the four movements and is often performed on its own.
