Jedermann (Sibelius)

Jean Sibelius' Jedermann (English: Everyman, Finnish: Jokamies, Op. 83 was the incidental music to Hugo von Hofmannsthal's play of the same name, based on the play Everyman[1] Since Sibelius never prepared a suite of the music, and after its premiere in 1916, it became one of the most forgotten Sibelius compositions, but is now considered a hidden gem.[2]
