Hector died in Paris, (Bom at la Cote Saint-Andre (Isere), December 11, 1803; March 9, 1869.) This symphony forms the first part of a work entitled "Episode de ]a vie d'un artiste" (Episode in the Life of an Artist), the second part of which is the lyric monodrama, "Lelio, ou le retour a la vie" (Lelio; or, The Return to Life). Berlioz published the following preface * to the full score of the symphony : PROGRAMME OF THE SYMPHONY.

One summer evening in the country he hears two shepherds playing a Ranz-des-vaclies in alternate dialogue ; this pastoral duet, the scene around him, the light rustling of the trees gently swayed by the breeze, some hopes he has recently conceived, all combine to restore an unwonted calm to his heart and to impart a more cheerful coloring to his thoughts ; but she appears * The translation into English of this preface is by William Foster Apthorp.
