This symphony, commissioned by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain, and first performed by them on 8 April 1987 under Vernon Handley, is dedicated to the composer's wife Angela. While being true to himself, Robert Simpson acknowledged the influence on it of several other composers with whom he had a lifelong sympathy.
