Background: Jerusalem has special significance for Penderecki, who first visited it in 1974. He was commissioned then to write a work for the third millennium celebration of the city of David. He composed the oratorio Seven Gates of Jerusalem in 1996. Following the work's Polish première, the composer decided to call it his Seventh Symphony.

The Seventh Symphony is pervaded by the number 'seven' at various levels. There are seven movements, a recurrence of seven-note phrases, and seven fortissimo chords bring the seventh movement to an end.
