Hymnography

Hymnography is the craft and study of composing and arranging hymns—sacred songs used in worship. It involves creating poetic texts that express religious beliefs, praise, and devotion, often set to music for congregation singing. Hymnographers consider theological themes, poetic structure, and musical melody to craft pieces that enhance spiritual experience and communal worship. This tradition has been a significant part of various faiths, providing a way for communities to express their faith collectively through meaningful song.
