The only complete and up-to-date annotated bibliography available, "Church and Worship Music: A Research and Information Guide" contains a full bibliography of books, recordings, videos, and websites in the field of church music. Church music is a rich field of study, both in traditional musicology courses and music-education programs aimed at training choral directors for religious and secular positions. Over the past decades, there has been a growth of literature covering everything from traditional subject matter such as the organ works of J.S. Bach, to newer areas of inquiry including folk hymnology, women and African-American composers, music as a spiritual healer, and the music of Mormon, Shaker, Moravian and other smaller sects. With multiple indices, this book will serve as an excellent tool for librarians, researchers, and scholars in sorting through the massive amount of new material that has appeared in the field over the last decades.
