Informed, informative, enhanced with six appendices, an extensive bibliography, and a comprehensive index, Johann Leisentrit's Geistliche Lider und Psalman, 1567: Hymnody of the Counter reformation in Germany is a critically significant and highly recommended addition to academic library musicology, Renaissance Music History, Catholic History, and 16th Century European Reformation History reference collections and supplemental reading lists. The Midwest Quarterly Wetzel and Heitmeyer's book will be essential reading for a thorough understanding of sixteenth-century hymnody. It should encourage further and much-needed exploration of how the Catholic Church in German-speaking lands deployed song-both Latin and vernacular-to reinforce a distinctively Catholic identity in the decades leading up to the Thirty Years' War. The Catholic Historical Review
