At a slight tangent:
I think the Karelia Suite by Sibelius was used to unite the people of Finland at some point in history, I could be wrong
I just came across this :
Sibelius was a central figure in creating a voice for Finnish music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Nationalism was thriving in Finland around this time following release from Swedish control (from 12th to early 19th century) and the threat from the Russian Revolution in 1917. Sibelius was seen as a national hero.
It is a very moving and patriotic piece of music.
