- Written between 1943-44, Symphony No. 3 actually represents Wiren’s second published symphony (just as Symphony No. 2 was the composer’s first published symphony).
- Like the second symphony, Symphony No. 3 consists of three movements organized in a fast-slow-fast structure.
- Wiren dedicated Symphony No. 3 to his parents.
- Symphony No. 3 premiered in 1944 with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sixten Eckerberg (the same ensemble and conductor that premiered Wiren’s second symphony).1
