First known to the music world as a guitar recitalist, David Leisner turned to composing his own guitar repertoire, and soon expanded his work to create a rich catalog in the grand tradition of art songs for voice with guitar. Much beloved by singers for his poignant lyricism and powerful cultivation of meaningful texts, Leisner has also composed a wealth of art songs for voice with piano. The present collection is a selection of six songs from existing cycles for medium voice, on texts by Emily Dickinson, William Butler Yeats, Emily Bronte, and Elizabeth Bishop.

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).
