[2] In 1896, Sibelius arranged the conclusion of Movement II as the Festive March (Juhlamarssi) for mixed choir a cappella.

Finally, Movement III is for soprano and orchestra, although the solo part (which occurs during a brief, middle trio section) has not survived;[2] however, according to the Sibelius biographer Andrew Barnett, "luckily the lack of a solo part does not render the piece unperformable [as a movement for orchestra alone]".

[6] The cantata remains in manuscript, although will eventually be published as part of the Jean Sibelius Works (JSW) critical edition, an ongoing collaborative project between the National Library of Finland, Breitkopf & Härtel, and the Sibelius Society of Finland.

(Begun in 1996, the series is projected at 52 volumes and will eventually cover all of Sibelius's completed original compositions and arrangements, including relevant JS-designated works.

[8] The table below contains additional details about these two recordings: In addition, the Finnish choral director Astrid Riska and the Jubilate Choir [fi] made the world premiere studio recording of the Festive March for mixed choir a cappella in the spring of 1992 for Ondine.
