Historical context
Vierne composed his Fifth Organ Symphony, in A minor, in 1923-24, and it was published in 1925. He dedicated it to Joseph Bonnet, the distinguished organist of Saint-Eustache who had been among his pupils. The fifth of the six symphonies, it belongs to Vierne’s maturity - written in the years after his long wartime exile in Switzerland and his return to the loft of Notre-Dame - and keeps to the grand five-movement plan of the cycle.
