Thanks LN I probably have the Sibelius in my collection but I'll have to get in touch with
Amazon for the others

Hints for anyone trying to follow the words.  I lost track a bit on
the more complicated choral bits, but from what I could make out, it
doesn't stick rigidly to the manuscript order; it begins with 'Ár var
alda', which strophe recurs later as a refrain.  From the arrival of
the 'þursar meyjar', it moves to the destruction of the world, and
concludes with the new world that appears afterwards - so it's really
just the beginning and end of the narrative.  Happy 90th birthday
yesterday to the composer!
