The book is suitable for all music libraries and for libraries of churches with serious choral resources.

The information presented is extremely useful, clearly and consistently presented. It is easy to read, concise, and serves the purpose of providing a thumbnail sketch of each work...This publication represents an enormous amount of detailed information that saves the choral conductor time in equal proportion. There is no need to consult multiple sources to get complete information about any of the works, and for those seeking further musicological or contextual information, Green provides an excellent bibliography at the end of the book.
