"1911" on the score but evidence in his correspondence, etc. "points to" his having begun the work in 1911 and completed the work sometime around summer 1912. (Lionel Carley, 2002 notes to Danacord recording of the piece (Aarhus Symphony/Bo Holten).)

Full score published 1923 by Universal Edition. (Monatsbericht (1923), p.57.) UE reissue plates: U.E. 6912 (score), U.E. 6913 (parts), U.E. 6914 (chorus parts), U.E. 7016 (study score).
