Misc. Comments

Section List

1. Dagvirke (Daily Toil) (Allegro energico, ma non troppo vivace)
2. Hvile (Rest) (Andante tranquillo)
3. Skygger (Shades) (Presto)
4. Morgengry (Dawn) (Adagio, ma non troppo)

Note on the title: This work very most likely celebrates the svastika, as a fortunate or Sun symbol (as described in the early parts of the Wikipedia article about it); the Nazi movement was not known to Glass (at least, not in 1919-20, if ever.)
