Chorale signed to Scandinavian A1 Music at winter 2003. The "Scooter of Finland" released their first album in 2005 and it entered the local album charts at #15.
Chorale's first singer was Maija-Helena Meskanen (Maikku) in 2000, but she performed only one tune (Huominen). In 2001 came Hanna-Leena Saarinen (Hansku), who sang thier few next eurodance tunes. In fall 2001 a girl from Tampere offered one of her tunes for them to remix. This is how Lydia Luoma-aho (born December 1977) found her way to Chorale and Rakkauden Maa was done.
Besides Chorale, Lydia also has a solo project called La Masina.
Katson tähtien taa
Chorale Lyrics

Nen monta miljoonaa
Pient lasta nauravaa
Kuninkaita suuren maan
Katson thtien taa
siell mua odottaa
paikka rauhallinen
alku suurten haaveiden
Antaa tunteen nytt tien ja haaveidensa opastaa
Yksi lyt paikan rakkauden, toinen paikan surujen
Maailman valon tai varjojen
Niin helppoa on lyt se tie
joka haavemaailman polkuja kulkee ja perille mut vie
Palata voin kotiin milloin vain
ja matkan uuden aloittaa kohti uutta unelmaa
The lyrics of Chorale's song "Katson tähtien taa" paint a picture of the vastness of the universe and the opportunities it holds. The first two lines of the song translate to "I look beyond the stars, I see many a million little laughing child, kings of a great country". The sense of wonder at the infinite possibilities presented by space is palpable in these words. The singer goes on to express their anticipation of finding a peaceful place waiting for them beyond the stars, a place where their great dreams can begin.
The chorus of the song talks about the many people who look up at the stars and dream of traveling to them, letting their feelings show them the way to the land of their dreams. Some may find love there, while others experience heartbreak. Whether they find light or shadow, it's easy to follow the path that leads to their dream world and reach its destination. The ending of the song provides a sense of comfort and hope, as the singer proclaims that they can always return home and start a new journey towards a new dream whenever they want.
In essence, "Katson tähtien taa" is a song about the human desire to explore beyond our current limits and reach for something greater. It's about the hope and possibility that the universe presents to us, and the comfort in knowing that we can always return home when we need to.
