List of compositions by Leevi Madetoja

While Madetoja composed in all genres, he found his greatest success with the orchestra: symphonies, operas, cantatas, and orchestral miniatures all flowed from his pen.

[1][2] Curiously, he composed no concerti, although at various times in his career he hinted at plans for a violin concerto.

[4] Finally, Madetoja wrote little for chamber ensemble after his student years,[4][1] although it is unclear if this was due to insufficient skill or waning interest in the genre.

Today, Madetoja is primarily remembered for his set of three symphonies (1916, 1918, and 1926, respectively); two operas, The Ostrobothnians (1924) and Juha (1935); the ballet-pantomime, Okon Fuoko (1927); the Elegia from the Symphonic Suite (1909); the Kalevalic symphonic poem, Kullervo (1913); and, The Garden of Death (1918, r. 1919), a three-movement suite for solo piano.

From 2001–02, Gabriel Suovanen [fi] (baritone) and Helena Juntunen (soprano) recorded the complete songs for solo voice and piano under the Ondine label (piano accompaniment: Gustav Djupsjöbacka).
