In 1896, Sibelius wrote Hymn (Op. 21), also known by its initial words Natus in curas, for the unveiling of the sepulchral monument of Josef Pippingskold (1825-1892), professor of obstetrics at the Imperial Alexander University in Finland (presently the University of Helsinki). The Latin text for Hymn was written for the occasion by Fridolf Gustafsson (1853-1924), professor of Roman literature at the University. Sibelius worked as acting music teacher at the University at the time, and as part of his duties at the ceremony he conducted a small ensemble consisting of singers from the male choirs Akademiska Sangforeningen and Muntra Musikanter. According to the report in Hufvudstadsbladet on the following day, the simple unveiling ceremony was given a particularly impressive ending by a hymn composed for the ceremony by Jean Sibelius in an old Italian style. The work was included in a choral collection published in 1899, for which Sibelius made small revisions, mostly by interchanging the inner-voices in some passages and reworking the ending by extending the last phrase. This version was published in the Complete Edition on which the current practical edition is based.
