Sibelius composed the Kanteletar Rakastava texts first for male choir in 1894, he then added a string orchestra to the male choir, and finally, he made a version for mixed choir in 1898. In 1911-1912 he returned to Rakastava and arranged it for string orchestra, timpani and triangle as op. 14. The string orchestra version shares some material with the choir versions, the string orchestra version in this publication has an elaborated texture strongly differing from the version with choir. In his diary Sibelius writes: Op. 14 is one of my best works! Surely! Both the early version (1911) and the final version (1912) are included in this score.

The elegantly beautiful Rakastava (The Lover) in three movements is Sibelius's own adaptation for strings and timpani of the choral work that he wrote in 1893. The adaptation dates from 1911-12. It retains the folkloristic simplicity and the three part scenario of the original, but with its more mature style and darker moods it may be ragarded less as an arrangement than as a fantasia on the original motivic material.
