These sixteen songs are a selection of those I've composed over the course of several decades. The texts are primarily by Americans, including William Carlos Williams, James Wright, and Elizabeth Bishop, though three are by British poets. The subject of most of the songs is the natural world and, often, humans' interaction with it. There are also several that merely celebrate love. —William McClellandMedium Voice & Piano Composed: 2005-2014 Published by: WMC Music (BMI).

Syva Ilo (Profound Joy) composed by Olli Kortekangas pays respect to the Lied tradition, in which the relationship between the words and music is most carefully weighed up. Few modern works have enjoyed quite so much popularity as this song cycle. The four solo songs are settings of words by three Finnish poets. The work was commissioned by the Finnish Cultural Foundation and is dedicated to Mirjam Helin. It is available in three versions, for high, medium and low voice. 1. Maalari / The Painter (Aaro Hellaakoski), 2. Nuoruuden kaupungissa / In the City of Youth (Lassi Nummi), 3. Adagio (Kai Nieminen), 4. Illan tullen / When Evening Comes (Lassi Nummi).
