The Symphony No. 3 in B minor Ilia Mourometz, Op. 42, is a large symphonic work by Russian composer Reinhold Gliere. A program symphony, it depicts the life of Kievan Rus' folk hero Ilya Muromets. It was written from 1908 to 1911 and dedicated to Alexander Glazunov. The premier took place in Moscow on March 23, 1912 under Emil Cooper, and in 1914 the piece earned Gliere his third Glinka Award (having already received it in 1905 and 1912).
