Symphony No. 7 (Williamson)
Australian composer Malcolm Williamson wrote his Symphony No. 7 in 1984 to a joint commission from the Chamber Youth Strings of Melbourne and the State of Victoria, Australia. It was written mostly at the composer's home in Sandon, Hertfordshire, England.〔''Malcolm Williamson: A 70th Birthday Tribute'' (Paul Conway)〕
==History of the Work==
Williamson was commissioned to write his Seventh Symphony by Dr Alexandra E. Cameron in 1984 on behalf of the Chamber Youth Strings of Melbourne. The piece originally had a dual purpose: to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the State of Victoria, and to give the youth orchestra a showpiece to take on a European tour in 1985. Williamson enjoyed long and fruitful relationships with youth orchestras and other organisations throughout his long career, and also wrote his Symphony No. 5 ''Aquerò'', the Little Mass of St. Bernadette and the ballet Heritage for young players, singers and dancers respectively. The score is dedicated to the memory of a long-time friend of Williamson's who died a year after the work's composition, Dr. Derek Goldfoot, husband of soprano Sybil Michelow (a staunch advocate of Williamson's vocal music).〔''Malcolm Williamson: A 70th Birthday Tribute'' (Paul Conway)〕
The first performance of the symphony was planned for 10 January 1985 at Australia House in London, but in the event only three of the four movements were played (the scherzo was omitted). This was due to the challenging nature of the music, which meant it was not possible for the youth orchestra to rehearse all the movements sufficiently in time. The first complete performance of the symphony was given by the Chamber Youth Strings of Melbourne in the Irving Hall of the Lauriston Girls' School, Melbourne, on 12 August 1985.〔''Malcolm Williamson: A Mischievous Muse'' (Paul Harris & Anthony Meredith)〕
