Anybody into classical music should try listening to some of his works. He wrote the Finnish national anthem "Finlandia," seven symphonies, a few popular suites, and one insanely beautiful violin concerto.

Is he dead? I only listen to classical music composed by dead people.

Of course he's dead.
And btw, "Finlandia" is not the national anthem of Finland ...though many people say it should be.

Thanks. I was told by my high school symphony teacher that he was commissioned by Finland to write the national anthem, but I never thought to look it up.
