The Symphonie satellites were the first communications satellites built by France and Germany (and the first to use three-axis stabilization in geostationary orbit with a bipropellant propulsion system) to provide geostationary orbit injection and station-keeping during their operational lifetime. After the launch of the second flight model, they comprised the first complete telecommunications satellite system (including an on-orbit spare and a dedicated ground control segment). They were the result of a program of formal cooperation between France and Germany.
Within the bilateral (CNES – GfW) French-German contract, and under industrial prime contractorship of the CIFAS consortium (which was a European economic interest grouping under French law) composed of six companies (three French and three German), their responsibilities were as follows:
Symphonie-A was successfully launched from the Kennedy Space Center on December 19, 1974 at 2:39 a.m. UT.
Symphonie was the forerunner for numerous telecommunications services. Its prohibition on commercial use may have paradoxically induced a larger program for experimentation of space telecommunications than ever before – both in the number of participating countries and diversity of field applications. As an example of the extent of its use, 40 countries participated in links via Symphonie A and B (east-west and north-south) – from Quebec to Argentina, from Finland to Reunion Island and from China to Indonesia. The Symphonie A and B experiments may be divided into two types:

Beethoven Symphonie 7 Deuxième mouvement- Allegretto-
Tell me what has happened to us
Suddenly you look to me like a completely stranger
Because I don't feel right anymore when I'm in your arms
Doesn't care anymore what's about us?
Where do you want to go? I can't almost see you
Our pride is standing in our way
Didn't we want to try everything? Maybe we have betrayed ourselves?
I thought we could stand it
Symphony and now silence is all around us
Because we are standing in the rain
We don't have anything to offer anymore
And it's better you leave
Because it's time
To admit this cannot be anymore
There's nothing else to talk because when it rains like this
It's better give in
And silence gets thick around us
I don't understand your words anymore
Have we tried too many things? Why we couldn't see it coming?
It's not going to be easy to admit all this
Somewhere we failed
And the way it is, it cannot be
The end has been written long time ago
And this was our
Symphony and now silence is all around us
Because we are standing in the rain
We don't have anything to offer anymore
And it's better you leave
Because it's time
To admit this cannot be anymore
There's nothing else to talk because when it rains like this
