The five songs for bass barytone and piano were composed in the early autumn of 2017, to five poems by Oscar Rossi. The song cycle was chosen to the finals of the Yrjö Kilpinen Lied Composition Competition 2017 and was premiered and broadcast by bass barytone Nicholas Söderlund and pianist Ilkka Paananen at G-LiveLab Helsinki.

The song cycle consists of the following five songs:

  • Tidens ordning: 
        • I. Hon säger (She says)
        • II. Enzymerna (The Enzymes)
        • III. Någon säger (Someone says)
        • IV. Allting hänger ihop (Everything is connected)
      •      V. Det som går i arv (The heritage)
