The French composer Vincent D'Indy (1851-1931) studied under César Franck, and in turn had students including Magnard, Roussel, Milhaud and Honegger. His Symphony On A French Mountain Song was written in 1886, and started out as a Fantasy for piano and orchestra; the piano part remained in the completed piece.
Based on a folk song heard in the Cévennes mountains, the symphony has the alternative name of Symphonie Cévenole. It consists of three movements. A detailed description of the piece is given here, and the album sleeve notes can be read below (click the scan to enlarge). Note that the track details on the sleeve transpose side 1 and side 2.
