Symphony No. 3 ("Organ") in Full Score

by Camille Saint-Saëns

Dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt, the composer's friend and mentor, Saint-Sa ns' Symphony No. 3 ("Organ") ranks among the most important works in French symphonic music. In this work, Saint-Sa ns achieves a synthesis of the traditional four-movement symphony with Liszt's characteristic thematic metamorphosis -- all forms of the theme being derived from the four-note "dies Irae" motif from the Gregorian mass for the dead.
