It appears that originally in Sheknaz Shir Hakavod was said on Yamim Nora'im
[YN]or YK only  Furthermore, one of the most common Traditional Meolodies
sung in many American Shuls is a drevitive of the  the Selichos YN Motif
used in at least the following  sections:

   1. Maran divsihmaya
   2. Shomeir yisreol [bimei Selichos]i
   3. Eder vahod {RH Shacharis]
   4. Moreh chata;im' {YK Shacharis] Both from R Mehullam b. Kalonymos

The ubiquitous use of this tune for Shir Hakavod  alludes to its having been
used primarily  or exclusively during YN & Yemei Selichos  AISI, the yeshiva
world did not  shave down its popular use so mucha as actually RESTORING its
original usage.

I don't know about most Yeshivos, but apparently Telz was influenced by
German nusach kach shamatti.


FWIW my old congregation said shir hakavod on every Shabbos but NOT on
weekday Yamim Tovim.

[Tangentially, AISI, all of our Selichos before RH/YK are really an
extension of YK nusach, and that is why I would extend the "heter" of Kol
Nidre night to recite 13 middos-  to permi the entire Selichos season - .
kein nir'eh li lehakeil."  Although it is obvious that Selichos are for
Ashmeores haboker and at least 1 teimani said that selihcos is termed
"ashmoreth" ]
