Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide a detailed and extensive analysis of the song cycle Our Hunting Fathers, by Benjamin Britten, for high voice and orchestra, op. 8, devised by the poet w. H. Auden. Although Britten was pleased with Our Hunting Fathers, the song cycle's satirical and innovative nature caused it to be unfavorably received by the conservative English musical establishment, and Our Hunting Fathers has never gained the recognition which its inherent musical qualities merit.
