The Cherubic Hymn by Howard Hanson - An Analytical Study for the Choral Director

Will you be conducting or singing “The Cherubic Hymn” by Howard Hanson?

In this 124-page paper, my goal is to discern the merits of this choral-orchestral work and to identify characteristics of Hanson’s style.

✦ ✦ ✦ The five chapters include -

• Biography
• Text
• Musical Characteristics
• Performance Considerations (form, melody, sound, harmony, rhythm)
• Hanson’s Sacred Choral Works (six other sacred pieces)

“The Cherubic Hymn” is a wonderful piece to study, sing, and conduct!
