Mikko Franck
Mikko Franck (born 1 April 1979) is a Finnish conductor and violinist.
Franck was born in Helsinki, and began to play the violin at the age of 5. He continued violin studies at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, beginning in 1992. In 1995, Franck took an opportunity from the Junior Department at the Sibelius Academy, which was celebrating its anniversary, to conduct an orchestra offered to any student who wished to do so. After this occurred, Jorma Panula immediately enlisted him as a private student. Franck entered Panula's conducting class at the Sibelius Academy in the fall of 1996. He has said of Panula:
Franck ended his studies there in 1998 without receiving a diploma because his international career had already begun.
Before age 23, Franck had made his conducting début with all of the leading Scandinavian orchestras, as well as with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, the Berlin Staatsoper (Berlin State Opera) and the Israel Philharmonic. He received a Grammy nomination for "Best Orchestral Performance" for his first recording, which was of music by Jean Sibelius. He is a particular champion of the works of Einojuhani Rautavaara.

My Covering
by: WatermarkI died in Your death my Lord
Glory, glory to Your name
Buried in the grave with You
Glory, glory to Your name
And I arose with You my Lord
Glory, glory to Your name
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Once so far, I am brought near
Glory, glory to Your name
Raised and seated up with You
Glory, glory to Your name
And reconciled to God in You
Glory, glory to Your name
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Death has no victory, sin has no hold on me
I'm covered in my Christ who is my life
And I arose with You my Lord
Glory, glory to Your name
Glory, glory to Your name
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Your blood is my covering
Oh Lord, it's where I begin
Your life, Your love, Your blood falls over me
And your blood is my covering
Your love it falls over me
