Today we'll hear two early works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius: his short choral work called Tulen Synty ("The Origin of Fire") and his Symphony #2, both performed by the Helsinki Philharmonic and conductor Paavo Berglund.

This morning we'll enjoy a lush, contemplative work from Arnold Schoenberg's middle period: the choral song, Friede auf Erden - "Peace on Earth."
