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.
