Subject:  Music of Yrjo Kilpinen

I am putting together an application for a competition featuring the music of
Finnish composer Yrjo Kilpinen . For a variety of reasons, I have not yet
ordered/received the music for the 2nd and 3rd rounds and I need to select a
couple of songs, two in Finnish, three in Finnish/German/Swedish. I think I
have two of the German ones picked, just from the recordings I've heard on
Amazon.com, that would suit my voice. However, the Finnish ones are hard to
come by....

Is anyone familiar enough with this composer to be able to recommend two (or
three (Finnish pieces for me? Lyric mezzo soprano, easy top, pretty
expressive, IMHO, not a particularly low mezzo. I just have to put them down
on the sheet - once I get the books, I can actually make changes in my
program up till March 1, assuming I make it that far.

One caveat: They can't be from Opus 100, the Kanteletar (a collection of
folk songs). I already have those and have made my choices.

Thanks.... the audition packet is due in Madison 1/15.... I thought retiring
from choral singing would allow me to be more on top of things, but I still
have to work on the procrastination problem.... <sigh>
