The Two Songs, Op. 35,[a] is a collection of Swedish-language art songs for vocal soloist and piano written in 1908 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.[b] Though considered "masterpieces", the two songs are among the "strangest" songs in Sibelius's oeuvre. "Jubal" (No. 1), furthermore, anticipates Luonnotar, the tone poem for soprano and orchestra (Op. 70, 1913).[3]
Ordered by catalogue number, the Op. 35 songs are as follows:
The songs were first published in 1910 by the German firm of Breitkopf & Härtel. The table below provides additional information about each song:
