Kolme Karjalan neitoa / Three Karelian Maidens (Tres virgines Carelae) dates from 1991. It is scored for children's chorus to texts from the Kanteletar (in Finnish or in Latin). The three Karelian maids are the Delicate Maid, the Proud Maid and the Radiant Maid, each of which plays a part of her own in the three-movement work. The revised edition of this popular choral work contains a Latin translation by Tuomo Pekkanen, and at the end are English translations of the Kanteletar texts.
