Begun
in early 1999, the
Sibelius Complete Edition
brings to a close the
publication of the songs
for voice and piano with
opus numbers in this
volume, Series VIII/3
(Works for Voice). Book 3
contains collections
written after 1900, when
Sibelius was conceiving
his songs both textually
and stylistically in a
more cohesive context
without, however,
grouping them officially
into cycles. As could
already be seen in Book
2, Sibelius also shows a
preference here for poems
in Swedish. Indeed, the
Finnish composer's vocal
oeuvre is stamped by
poets such as Ernst
Josephson, Johan Ludvig
Runeberg and Karl August
Tawaststjerna.
