Notes
 
Where two dates are shown they are those of the original song with piano accompaniment and of the orchestral arrangement by the composer.
 
¶ The Kullervo Symphony dates from 1892. The song arrangement was made in 1893 but there is also a revised version from 1917-8 before the orchestral one from 1957.
 
§ No. 4 in the original score; not in the usual suite (but Jalas included an orchestral transcription for his recording of the suite on Decca 448 267-2, disc 1 track 26, nla)
 
* HJ sings Op. 38/1 in the version for strings published as ‘Herbstabend’.
 
† No. 6 in the original score (JS 147), No. 4 in the orchestral suite (Op. 46)
 
‡ No. 2b in the original score (JS 48), No. 2 in the orchestral suite (Op. 51, called ‘Solitude’)
 
º Only versions included on recordings of the songs are shown. There are several other fine versions, notably those by Taru Valjakka and Gwyneth Jones.
 
Songs originally written with orchestral accompaniment are shown in red. Op. 3 is for strings only. These were also arranged with piano, apart from JS 168. Op. 60 was originally written with guitar.
 
Songs from incidental music are shown in blue and also exist in piano arrangements. Op. 27/4 is usually listed with the orchestral songs; the songs from Op. 46 and Op. 51 are included here, but there are also the following:
a) Ballade: Tableau 4 of the Karelia music (later Op. 11/2) (1893)
b) Paavali’s Song and Elsa’s Song from Kuolema, Op. 44, Scenes II & III (1903)
c) Songs for Ariel (5), Stephano, Caliban and Juno from The Tempest, Op. 109 (1925), of which Ariel’s second song (‘Full fadom five thy father lies’, Op. 109/7) is particularly fine. (Ariel’s first two songs include parts for chorus.)
 
Autrefois, Op. 96b (1919) is for two (wordless) sopranos and orchestra, but there is also a version with song text.
