"Hymn to St. Cecilia" is a choral work composed by Benjamin Britten in 1942. It is based on a poem by W.H. Auden that celebrates the patron saint of music, St. Cecilia. The piece is written for mixed chorus accompanied by a small group of instruments including harp and solo trumpet. Britten's composition showcases his innovative use of harmonies and textures, with intricate vocal lines and rhythmic complexity. "Hymn to St. Cecilia" is a deeply expressive and reverential tribute to the power and beauty of music, reflecting Britten's own passion and skill as a composer.
