The piece was composed for a patriotic pageant performed to mobilise popular opposition to the revocation of Finnish autonomy by the government of the Russian Empire (see Grand Duchy of Finland for further historical context). Most of the piece is taken up with rousing and turbulent music, evoking the national struggle of the Finnish people.
