Review Quotes

...a very useful volume, full of golden information for anyone looking for just the right setting of a biblical text.

...church musicians wanting to "plan music appropriate to the appointed lessons" or "locate choral settings based on a particular scriptural text" will find in this 1996 edition twice as many entries as in the first, listed by biblical verse from Genesis through Revelation, including the Apocrypha.

...essential for all involved with sacred choral music...

...very detailed book.

Laster's dual professions qualify him as a perfect compiler of this useful reference work. He knows what a church musician needs and how a first-rate reference tool should be compiled. Those who need this information will, rightly, consider this book a blessing.
