Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 44, is a three-movement orchestral composition written between 1935 and 1936 by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. It is widely recognized for its deeply expressive Russian character, cyclic structure featuring references to the plain-chant Dies irae, and a concise orchestration style that blends traditional Romantic lyricism with a sparer harmonic treatment.
