The Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78, was completed by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1886 at the peak of his artistic career.

The composer inscribed it as: Symphonie No. 3 "avec orgue" (with organ).
The tune was taken from the main theme of the maestoso section of Saint-Saëns' Symphony No.3 in C minor (Symphony with organ) with an added reggae beat.

Also listed are an early Mass, collections of organ music, and choral songs. [163] A recording of twenty-seven of Saint-Saëns's mélodies was released in 1997 ...
The instrumentation bears note: whereas the Third Symphony was written with the organ incorporated as a member of the orchestral ensemble, something that would bear repetition (most famously in Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra), Cyprès et Lauriers is structured in traditional concerto form with the organ as soloist. [citation needed]
[10] [7] The Finale of Camille Saint-Saëns's 1855 First Symphony contains a homorhythmic chorale. [7] One of the themes in the Finale of his 1886 Third Symphony, that is the theme that was adopted in the 1978 "If I Had Words" song, is a chorale.
