Symphony No. 1 composed by Einar Englund. 1916-1999. For orchestra. Score. Published by Fennica Gehrman. FG.042-08290-4. ISBN 979-0-042-08290-4. In his first symphony Englund made a triumphant early display of his prowess as a symphonist. He wrote it as a "euphoric shout of joy" on living to survive the horrors of four years at the front. This, along with the militaristic march which opens the work, led to it being dubbed the "War Symphony".
