A symphonic poem (Japanese: kokyoshi) is a form of program music expressing the content of poems, paintings, stories, and so on through orchestra. Also called a symphonic poem. The symphonic poem was established by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. Attempting to express nonmusical arts through music, Liszt named Tasso, composed as an overture in 1854, a “symphonic poem.” His symphonic poems include What One Hears on the Mountain, based on Hugo's poetry collection Autumn Leaves, and Les Préludes. After Liszt's death, German composer Richard Strauss expanded the concept of the symphonic poem, composing works emphasizing more inward expression. Strauss called his symphonic poems “tone poems.” Representative symphonic poems include the following. Smetana: “Má vlast” Sibelius: “Finlandia” Saint-Saëns: “Danse macabre” Debussy, “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.” Richard Strauss, “Don Quixote,” “A Hero's Life” Zemlinsky: “The Mermaid” Dukas: “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”
