I found today an forgotten gem from my favorites, and started to share the story to my foreign friend:
The gem was Church bells of Konevitsa by Piirpauke. -The melody literally comes from the church bells: At the time when lake Laatokka still was part of Finland, there were some musicants living around the lake. And at still summer evenings they could hear the bells from monestary of Konevitsa island. Musicants started to follow the sound by Kantele and turned it into a folkmusic.
And pretty well it came out even on modernized(1975;) version. -At least I can really easily picture the lake shore while listening..
Even more modern version is made by Finnish metal band, Sentenced on 2002.
