I have published Ascending Cadence Gestures, A New Historical Survey, Part 5b: Music from Hymnals, 1893-1909 on the Texas ScholarWorks platform: link.

Here is the abstract:
Part 5b of this multi-part essay gathers compositions with ascending and upper-register cadence gestures in European and European-influenced music is given over to examples from Shaker and Mormon hymnals published in the United States between 1893 and 1909.
