Composition: 1920–21.

To celebrate the reunion of South Jutland with Denmark in 1920, Helge Rode was commissioned to write the text. It appears that the author had Nielsen in mind as the composer at a very early stage; however, it was difficult to convince Nielsen to take on the task. Already from March and April, he was drafting the work though the earliest musical sources are dated May 1920. He was still composing in October, when he also began working on his fifth symphony (CNW 29).

A few months before the premiere of the play Moderen, Nielsen published extracts from the work in piano reduction, including eight songs and five instrumental pieces (Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, 7, 9, 10, 11, 16, 15, 19, 1, 22 from the original version). Nielsen delivered the material to the publishers in December 1920, and the music was published in 1921.
