type: CreativeWork
description: Herbert Howells's religious choral works are generally regarded as his primary contribution to the twentieth-century English music repertoire. According to Peter John Hodgson, Howells's most representative achievements are found among the numerous settings of the canticles for various ecclesiastical establishments, among a quantity of anthems and motets, and among the several large-scale works for chorus, soloists and orchestra'. While studies of his canticles and at least one large-scale choral work have recently been completed, there has been no comprehensive investigation of the anthems and motets. The present thesis is a detailed, historical and analytical study of Howells's anthems and motets.
