Singing Sibelius' 'Finlandia' with the BBC Singers

Take a look at some wonderful work made by children across the UK whilst they stay at home.

In week four's activity the BBC Singers guided you in how to sing the hymn-like section from Sibelius' Finlandia. From there, you could sing with the BBC Singers in their online choir or even create your own words to the music!

Learn and perform the hymn-like theme that appears towards the end of the piece with the BBC Singers!
