I see from Worldcat that his Opus 7 is Mignon (1920-27), a pair of poems after Goethe for Soprano and Orchestra (published by Norsk Notestik & Forlag but I'm not sure when). I'm not sure if we're including works with vocal / choral parts (so long as the accompaniment is orchestral, that is), also op.8 "Zwei Chinesische Gedichte for soprano and orchestra" (1925-27). Psalm 121 may be from around 1911 and (like the piano sonata no.1) is sometimes given opus 2.
