This man exchanged material from his violin concerto to write his sixth symphony, which begins with a series of notes D-E-F-G-A that sets the symphony in the Dorian mode, and he set a series of seven poems by John Runeberg to music. This composer's fourth symphony is dominated with the tritone interval and it ends with a glockenspiel attempting to establish an A-major cadence but the work's opening note, C from the rest of the orchestra brings it to a minor finish. His first symphony opens with a clarinet accompanied by timpani roll, and this man also wrote incidental music to a play by Procope, (*) Belshazzar's Feast. He depicted a sleigh ride between two cities in one of his tone poems, Nightride and Sunrise. This composer wrote a set of patriotic works including a Ballade and Alla Marcia in his Karelia Suite and also wrote a tone poem based on the story of Kullervo. For 10 points, name this composer of The Swan of Tuonela and a nationalistic paean to his homeland, Finlandia.
