The piece was written in 1955 at the request of Charles Munch, for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This work is not to be confused with Milhaud's Chamber Symphony No. 6, op. 79 (1923).
Milhaud's Sixth Symphony has four movements and a total running time of about 30 minutes. The titles of the movements, as descriptive of their character as of tempo, are as follows:

Calme et tendre (approx. 9')
Tumultueux (approx. 6')
Lent et doux (approx. 8'45")
Joyeux et robuste (approx. 6'30")
This symphony is published by Heugel & Cie.
