Composition: Dec. 1923.

Towards the end of 1923, Nielsen composed three Christmas carols (CNW 312, 313, 314), all of which were published just before Christmas. The melody was composed shortly before a concert on 16 December 1923, when it was performed in an arrangement for voice and orchestra.

Ikke for langsomt

Hjemlige Jul, straaler Du nu!

Homely Noel, splendently near!
