Symphony No. 3, Op. 27, titled Song of the Night, is a work for chorus and orchestra, with a solo part for tenor voice, by Karol Szymanowski. He completed it in 1916 after a period travelling Eastern Europe. Its sung text is a poem by 13th-century Persian mystic Jalal ud-Din Rumi as translated into Polish by Tadeusz Miciński, a friend of the composer; it celebrates the beauty of the Eastern night. Although an instrumental version of the symphony was played in London in 1921, the full world premiere with chorus and tenor soloist came only 3 February 1928 in Lwów.[1] Considered today to be one of Szymanowski's finest works, Song of the Night lasts about 25 minutes.[2][3]
