"La Symphonie Pastorale – (The Pastoral Symphony) - 1919 - A modern version of the parable of the lost sheep, a story of the illicit love between a pastor and the blind orphan whom he rescues from poverty and raises in his own home. His attempt to shield her from the knowledge of evil ends in tragedy.[29]

Published with Isabelle in Two Symphonies by Vintage Books."

That fits in - if the clue had said writer of 2 symphonies rather than composer I might have cottoned on - thank you factor-fiction I will go with that!
