Baldurs draumar

[1] He had come to support the neopagan group around Hans S. Jacobsen, which was ideologically National Socialist but against Adolf Hitler.

[2] It was written for a large orchestra with twelve percussionists, some of which would perform on nine special made "Stone Age drums" tuned for the pentatonic scale.

In 2001, the composer Kaare Dyvik Husby looked through the collected remains from Tveitt's home and discovered the original ballet score.

[6] In spite of Tveitt's claim that Baldurs draumar is "a wholly and completely Norse, Norwegian work", critics have received it as an impressionist and orientalist composition.

[3] For Tveitt's 100th anniversary in 2008, Sondre H. Bjørgum directed the documentary film Baldurs Draumar for the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK.
