Lloyd Stone's words were set to the Finlandia hymn melody composed by Jean Sibelius in an a cappella arrangement by Ira B. Wilson that was published by the Lorenz Publishing Company in 1934.
It often appears in hymnals with substituted and additional verses by Georgia Harkness (1891–1974).
[3] Joan Baez has performed Finlandia at her concerts, with lyrics credited to her[4] based on the text of This is my song by Lloyd Stone.
She also featured Finlandia Hymn on her 2005 live album Bowery Songs and a live performance of the song by Baez also appeared on the album Mitä vapaus on, a compilation of protest songs by various artists, released by Amnesty.
[5] She performed the song in Michael Moore's Slacker Uprising, in which she incorrectly stated that it was a translation of the Finnish national anthem.
