Erkki Melartin (7 February 1875 – 14 February 1937) was a Finnish composer. He was a pupil of Martin Wegelius from 1892 to 1899 in Helsinki and of Robert Fuchs from 1899 to 1901 in Vienna. As well as composing, Melartin also taught and directed music at the Helsinki Music College, later the Helsinki Conservatory. Although Melartin was chiefly a lyricist, the symphony was central to his musical output. He wrote six symphonies and was the first Finnish composer to bear Mahler's influence. His output also includes an opera, a violin concerto, four string quartets, and many piano pieces.

Laulu-Miehet is a Finnish men's choir which has been led by Matti Hyökki since 1998. Today, the choir has around 75 singers, including former members of academic choirs operating in the Helsinki region. The choir was founded in 1914 by former members of the Student Union Singers and the Suomen Laulu. Over the years, prominent Finnish composers have dedicated their compositions to the Laulu-Miehet, including Jean Sibelius, Toivo Kuula, Leevi Madetoja, Uuno Klami, Oskar and Aarre Merikanto. Since 2018, Laulu-Miehet has been recording works by lesser-known Finnish composers Erkki Melartin and Erik Fordell.
