Inspired by the myth of Hercules choosing between the paths of virtue and pleasure, the piece depicts the hero's struggle through vivid orchestral contrasts, from languid, sensuous themes to vigorous, martial passages that culminate in a triumphant resolution. The work was premiered on January 28, 1877, at Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris conducted by Édouard Colonne, and it was admired for its colorful orchestration and dramatic narrative. Today, although performed less often than Saint-Saëns's concertos or DANSE MACABRE, LA JEUNESSE D'HERCULE remains a striking example of his symphonic imagination, valued for its expressive power, mythological subject, and place within the evolution of the 19th-century symphonic poem.

The composer said of the work, \"I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again.\"  Seeming to recognize that it would be his last attempt at the symphonic form, the composer filled the work with virtuoso piano passages, brilliant Romantic-era orchestral writing, and the sound of a cathedral-sized pipe organ. The composer did note in his own analysis of the symphony that, while it was cast in two movements, \"the traditional four-movement structure is maintained.\"  One of the symphony's outstanding and original features is its use of keyboard instruments, with piano, scored for both two and four hands at various places, and the pipe organ.  The work uses its thematic material, derived from fragments of plainsong, as a unifying device as each melody appears in more than one movement.  Saint-Saëns also employed a method of thematic variation borrowed from his friend Franz Liszt, to whose memory he dedicated the work.
