This week: Sing with the BBC Singers…

Learn to sing the beautiful melody from Jean Sibelius’s epic piece Finlandia . Members of the BBC Singers will teach you the tune line by line and then sing with you in a virtual choir performance. You can hear the BBC Singers performing on Radio 3’s Afternoon Concert every day this week!

First…

Watch the Ten Pieces introduction film. Naomi Wilkinson explores Sibelius’s ode to the vast, majestic landscape of Finland and it’s national pride with facts, insight and animation.

Then…

Learn and perform the hymn-like theme that appears towards the end of the piece with the BBC Singers! This is the tune to one of the most important national songs in Finland. You might want to pause and rewind parts of the video to practice each line.

Finally…

Upload your performance or share the words you have written for a chance to have it featured in the Ten Pieces online showcase!
