Song of Songs (Cantique des Cantiques) by Gustave Moreau, 1893 The Song of Songs (Biblical Hebrew: שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים , romanized: Šīr hašŠīrīm), also called the Canticle of Canticles or the Song of Solomon, is a biblical poem, one of the five megillot ("scrolls") in the Ketuvim ('writings'), the last section of the Tanakh.
Britten composed his five Canticles over an extended period of almost 30 years, between 1947 and 1975. [1] They have in common to be written for voices, all including a tenor with Peter Pears in mind, as a result of "the personal and creative relationship between Britten and his most important muse".

During the Georgian era, the music of George Frideric Handel was highly significant, with his repertoire of anthems, canticles and hymns, although he never held a church post. [15] Up until the early 19th century, most Anglican church music in England was centred around the cathedrals, where trained choirs would sing choral pieces in worship.
Nowadays, however, the canticles are only sung in large monasteries or, in Russian practice, with the triode on the weekdays of Lent. 20th century scholarship generally agreed that the canon was invented in the late 7th century by Andrew of Crete, a view supported by prominent Byzantine musicologist Egon Wellesz.
