At a plenary meeting in The Music Society (Musikforeningen) on 28 September 1916, it was agreed that Nielsen should compose music commemorating the Niels W. Gade centenary on 22 February 1917. Having returned from a journey to Stockholm, Nielsen composed the music in the beginning of February 1917.
