The Six Partsongs (sometimes listed as the Six Songs; deprecated title Nine Partsongs or Nine Songs), Op. 18, is a collection of Finnish-language a cappella choral pieces written from 1893 to 1901 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. Originally composed for male choir, the composer subsequently arranged Nos. 1, 3–4, and 6 (under the same catalogue number) for mixed choir. The Six Partsongs are as follows:

  • "Sortunut ääni" ("The Broken Voice"), Op. 18/1 (1898–1899, arr. for SATB 1898–1899)[2]
  • "Terve kuu" ("Hail, Moon"), Op. 18/2 (1901)[3]
  • "Venemakta" ("The Boat Journey"), Op. 18/3 (1893, arr. for SATB 1914)[4]
  • "Saarella palaa" ("Fire on the Island"), Op. 18/4 (1895, arr. for SATB 1898)[5]
  • "Metsämiehen laulu" ("The Woodsman's Song"), Op. 18/5 (1899)[3]
  • "Sydämeni laulu" ("Song of My Heart"), Op. 18/6 (1898, arr. for SATB 1904)[6]

The lyrics for Nos. 2–3 come from Finland's national epic, the Kalevala, while Nos. 1 and 4 draw on its companion book of poetry, the Kanteletar; finally, for Nos. 5–6 Sibelius set excerpts from the novel Seven Brothers (Seitsemän veljestä) by Aleksis Kivi.[7]

The following three partsongs were at one time listed by Sibelius under the Op. 18 catalogue number but were removed subsequently. The deprecated title of Nine Partsongs, then, refers to their inclusion:

  • "Isanmaalle" ("To the Fatherland"), JS 98 (1899; revised and arranged for mixed choir 1900; revised version arranged for male choir in 1908)[3] ... text by Paavo Cajander

  • "Min rastas raataa" ("Busy as a Thrush"), JS 129 (1898)[3] ... for mixed choir only ... text from the Kanteletar
