Yrjo Kilpinen
See userpages.chorus.net/icitur/kilpbio.html. His Nordic period, 1922-26, includes songs to words by Josephson, Bergman, Lagerkvist, osterling, Ullman, Cnattingius and Blomberg. Yrjo Kilpinen's huge output of 767 songs include
  • Op. 19 incl. Omenankukat no. 4, Illalla no. 7, Rannalla no. 9, and Pieni balladi no. 10. The Jalkanen Lieder of 1918-19 aready fall into Kilpinen's mature period. Most of the songs are riddled with morbid, resigned pathos, which surely explains in part why they have had so few performances in the later half of the 20th century. Among them one nevertheless finds songs of substance, such as Ah, missa lienet nyt with its long chromatic suspensions, or the haughty Yli hohtavan hangen.
  • Elegia yolle Op. 20 no 5
  • Kuutamolla Op. 21 no 2 Ihme Op. 21 no 6 In his cycle Fantasi och verklighet to poems by Josephson, Kilpinen found a way of depicting the unusual middle ground between the idyllic and the macabre created by this poet and painter.
  • Lakeus Op. 22, incl. Kesayossa No 4, and a strange light hovers over no. 5.
  • Koskenniemi Lieder Op. 23 (1927), 37 songs, are some of Kilpinen's best-known creations, incl. Rannalta I no. 1 has come to enjoy a folksong-like popularity with its open landscape and plaintive motive; in the brilliant Kesayo no. 3 the poem's image of distant accordion-playing becomes one with the rhythm of the listener's heart in a way to which only a grand master can aspire, Hyokyaalto no. 6, and Ihme which builds to an almost euphorically noble, hymnlike conclusion.
  • Op. 25 incl. Ystavien piiri pienentyy no. 1 "Jaa hyvasti" ja "nankemiin" no. 3 The Lagerkvist Cycle is said to be where Kilpinen comes closest to atonality and Expressionism. The world of Lagerkvist, a Christian existentialist, is at one and the same time steadfast and disconsolate. Kilpinen's musical language in songs such as Var ar den djupa gladje and Regnet slar och slar succeeds in capturing both these aspects of his poetry.
  • Alvan och kardinalen Op. 27 no 5
  • Din mun ar ljusare an min Op. 33 no 4
  • Minnen Op. 45 no 3 1928 was the year of the Morgenstern Lieder, a collection totalling no less than 75 songs.
  • 6 Sanger Op. 47
  • Dyningen Op. 48 no 1 Snoblommor Op. 48 no 2 Stjarnorna aro sa stilla Op. 48 no 3
  • Op. 49 incl. Jag har haft en stor, tyst sorg no. 2 and Den ljusa nattens ljusa fageldrillar no. 3
  • Modern Op. 50 no 3
  • Op. 52 incl. Janka no. 1, Laululle no. 3, and Tunturille no. 4
  • Op. 54 incl. Vanha kirkko no. 1, Kirkkorannassa no. 2, Suvilaulu no. 3, Tunturilaulu no. 4, Vanha Kirkko no. 9, Kirkkorannassa no. 10 and Tunturilaulu no. 12
  • 6 Lieder Op. 59
  • Lieder der Liebe Op. 61 (1934) are some of Kilpinen's best known, with a unique immediacy and spontaneity. Gems such as Heimat, Kleines Lied and Anmutiger Vertrag remind us of the controlled forms of traditional German lied, incl. Heimat no. 1, Kleines lied no. 2, Deine Rosen an der Brust no. 3, Uber die tausend Berge no. 4 and Anmutiger Vertrag no. 5
  • Lieder um den Tod Op. 62 (1934) is Kilpinen's most widely recognized work internationally.
  • Spielmannslieder Op. 77, incl. Eingeschniete stille Felder no. 2, Spiel ich wo zum Tanze auf no. 3, Tanzlied no. 4, Spielmannssehnen no. 5, Wenn der Wein nicht war no. 7 and Ich sang mich durch das deutsche Land no. 8
  • H.F. von Zwehl Songs Op. 79
  • Lieder um eine kleine Stadt Op. 95
  • Kanteletar Op. 100 was Kilpinen's bequest to the Finnish people; it contains 64 songs to poems from the Kanteletar, the sister work to Finland's national epic, The Kalevala. Incl. Paimenalaulu no. 1, Tule tanne no. 4, Silloin laulan no. 5 is a gem of humorous character depiction, On kumpiaki no. 6, Oisi mulla vallan miekka no. 8, Oi Ukko ylinen Herra which invokes ancient magic, Nyt on kaikki kallistunna another humorous character depiction, Milla maksan maammon maion no. 39, Tuuti, tuuti tummaistani no. 51 has tragic overtones, and Kiitos emannasta no. 62
  • The cycles Liederfolge, Herbst, and Hochgebirgswinter, to poems by Hesse, are all examples of the composer's austere late period. They do not reach to the level of his previous works in terms of musical accomplishment, being more staid and lacking in innovation.
In addition, there are the Hermann Lons songs from 1943-46, and the as yet unpublished Katri Vala songs from 1946. Kilpinen is published by Fazer Book, and the german songs were originally published by Bote und Bock and by Breitkopf.
