Next is an episode based on Kesilta (Summer Evening), one of the loveliest of Finnish folk songs, being as delightfully tranquil as the Finnishcountryside. Following this is a section based on the lively folk tune, Talon Tytt (The Country Lass), a mirthful love song about a peasant maid and her swain. This leads into the majestic Finlandia Hymn, created by Jan Sibelius.The work closes with the return of Oh, Blessed Fatherland, with all its strength and grandeur. (5:30)

Credo - Fisher Tull
As implied by the title, Credo is in the nature of a profession of faith. Organized in a tripartite form, the opening section presents a four-note motif contrasted with a chorale-like melody in the woodwinds. The slower middlesection is more contrite and reflective, the polyphonic texture in the woodwinds being imitated by a similar setting in the brasses. The final section employs development of the material from the first section in a fugal settingleading to a climactic affirmation followed by a resolute ending. (5:30)
