The Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major (First of May) Op. 20 by Dmitri Shostakovich was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and Academy Capella Choir under Aleksandr Gauk on 21 January 1930 (the anniversary of Lenin's death). Similar to the Second Symphony, it is an experimental choral symphony in four continuous sections: {{ordered list|list_style_type=upper-roman|Allegretto – Allegro |Andante |Largo |Moderato: "On the first First of May" }} The symphony lasts around 25 to 30 minutes. The finale sets a text by Semyon Isaakovich Kirsanov praising May Day and the revolution. Interpretation is difficult: in a letter to Boleslav Yavorsky, Shostakovich said that the work "expresses the spirit of peaceful reconstruction"; on the other hand, most of the material preceding the finale is dark and sometimes sardonic in tone. May Day, in Communist or left-leaning countries, is "International Workers' Day". LyricsOn the very first May Day ("the first first of May", in Russian) a torch was thrown into the past, a spark, growing into a fire, and a flame enveloped the forest. With the drooping fir trees' ears the forest listened to the voices and noises of the new May Day parade. Our May Day. In the whistling of grief's bullets grasping bayonet and gun, the tsar's palace was taken. The fallen tsar's palace: this was the dawn of May, marching ahead, in the light of grief's banners. Our May Day: in the future there will be sails, unfurled over the sea of corn, and the resounding steps of the corps. New corps, the new ranks of May their eyes like fires looking to the future. factories and workers march in the May Day parade. We will reap the land, our time has come. Listen, workers, to the voice of our factories: in burning down the old, you must kindle a new reality. Banners rising like the sun, march, let your steps resound. Every May Day is a step towards Socialism. May Day is the march of armed miners. Into the squares, revolution, march with a million feet![1] InstrumentationThe symphony is scored for mixed chorus and an orchestra of 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, snare drum, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam, glockenspiel, xylophone, and strings.
