In this three part virtuoso choral work Heininen ponders with his characteristic intensity - but also with lyricism - the role of the heart in human philosophy and in love. The words are based on poems by Gunnar Björling, Stephen Crane and the composer himself. The work was written for the BBC Singers in 1979 who gave its first broadcast performance. 1...sydämeni sinulle... (Fi/Lat) - 2...being bestial (Eng) - 3...ego in mundo in corde (Lat/Ger/Eng)
