Composition: c. 1887.

Like a number of other works (CNW 276, 277, 278, 279, 355, 357, 358), the present composition for male choir dates from Nielsen's student years and may have been written at the suggestion of his theory teacher, Orla Rosenhoff. The piece was written on the same manuscript paper as CNW 357, which is dated 4 December 1887.
