Impressionist Symphonic Works?

[nakulanb]

This seems like un-tapped territory for new composers.  I don't think there were many symphonies in this era!

[Symphonic Addict]

Roussel's Le Poème de la forêt is one of them. Others that are not overtly impressionistic, but do have some reminiscent touches are Koechlin's First, Gaubert's Symphony in F and Meulemans' Symphony No. 3. I'm sure there should be more. Perhaps Scriabin's 3rd partly counts as well.

[(poco) Sforzando]

I consider Debussy's La Mer a symphony in all but name. (To state the most obvious candidate.)

It's actually a common area for composers.  See pretty much anything by Anna Thorvaldsdóttir.

Become Ocean by John Luther Adams

I am not familiar with all of the works of Ibert.
Would anything he composed count?

[Symphonic Addict]

Yes, Ibert's Symphonie marine is filled with impressionistic elements indeed, and a great use of the orchestra to boot (including cool passages with saxophone).

I'd class Vincent d'Indy's Symphonies as impressionistic as well as the ones by Chausson and Franck. :-)

An unconventional assessment......!

Agreed, after re-listening, I rescind my previous assessment on this two. :-)

Some composers kept writing "à la manière de" - a 1960 symphony by Raymond Gallois-Montbrun

Other late-impressionists:
Vaughan Williams Pastoral symphony (1922) 
Philippe Gaubert: Symphony in F (1934) 
Georges Huë (1858-1948), a good candidate for being "late -impressionist". He did write a symphony!

Labey's third symphony is an "hommage a d'Indy". But is it "post- impressionism"?

From Musimem:
"Marcel Labey wrote four symphonies. The first two date from 1903 and 1908, respectively. These are early works, which is not to say they are without merit. The first contains a charming scherzo, lively and playful, with a popular character. The second, on the other hand, is a work of great character, well-constructed, well-proportioned, with beautiful ideas and a broad overall vision. It contains many beautiful passages, including the magnificently presented introduction that immediately captivates the listener.

The other two symphonies are much more recent. The third, completed in 1933, was performed the following year at the Poulet Concerts. This symphony is a pious tribute to the memory of Vincent d'Indy by a faithful disciple. The composer expressed this sentiment with compelling emotion in an admirable slow movement. He drew inspiration from a Gregorian chant melody that d'Indy himself had set to music (in The Stranger), Urbi caritas et amor. But these Gregorian melodies are so beautiful and profound that using them again in no way means repeating what others have already said. This slow movement is one of the composer's finest works. The symphony as a whole is, moreover, a first-rate work, and it is to be hoped that we will be able to hear it again in major concert halls."

Anyway, there are many more forgotten French composers, more or les contemporaries of Debussy who could be labelled "neo-post-late -impressionists.

At least some of Respighi's tone poems.
Not quite but almost, certainly more of a "nordic la mer" than I would have expected, Sibelius: "Okeanides"
