The title "Astrup-suite" connects to the norwegian painter Nicolai Astrup (1880-1928).
The text in "Drikkevise" is taken from an old traditional drinkingsong
with words by the danish author Thøger Reenberg (1656-1742). The first stanza of Reenbergs poem starts with "I et vinhus
vil jeg sige". Tveitt is using only the third stanza.
The text in "Så skapte Gud verden" is taken from an old
"skillingsvise", "Adam and Eve", written down by Nikolai Astrup
himself.
