OOO that's haunting and beautiful!
Woke up this morning and I was back in 1620 and these guys were playing outside my window, weird eh ;)
Never has a recorder sounded so good :P
DEEP PURPLE - Child in Time (medieval cover by STARY OLSA)

Plungin' in to my ditty bag I came up with this little gem played on an 11 string guitar yup not 6 or 12 strings but 11 isn't that strange (mm)
People Are Strange (the Doors) Daniel Estrem, 11-string guitar

That's very cool!
If only we had a national anthem like the "Unofficial National Anthem of Finland".
This is the version with a chorus, 'njoy.
I'd stand to attention to this :)
Jean Sibelius - Finlandia op 26 (Orchestra and Chorus)
https://youtu.be/SATnt4yJ1d8
Lyrics (Finnish)
Oi Suomi, katso, sinun päiväs koittaa
Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois
Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa
Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois
Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa
Sun päiväs koittaa, Oi synnyinmaa
Oi nouse Suomi, nosta korkealle
Pääs seppelöimä suurten muistojen
Oi nouse Suomi, näytit maailmalle
Sä että karkoitit orjuuden
Ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle
On aamus alkanut
Oi Synnyinmaa
Lyrics (English)
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its sound,
and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!
Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest
thy head now crowned with mighty memory.
Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest
that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,
beneath oppression's yoke thou never liest.
Thy morning's come, O Finland of ours!
Sounds rather ominous at the beginning. Almost expected a Great White the jump out the screen and swallow me whole (rofl)
Who said opera wasn't fun (giggle)
Mozart: Die Zauberflöte - Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja
Let me translate Mozart: The Magic Flute - The bird catcher song
Don't you think Vogelfanger sounds better than Bird catcher ;)

This was the first opera I ever went to see! We laughed so much in it!
After much deliberation this is today's offering (party)
