For liturgical musicians, this is a particularly welcome and handy resource...highly recommended!

Entries are authoritative and to the point. Currents in Theology and Mission . . . the volume as a whole is outstanding both for choice of entries and for the information provided. Highly recommended. The American Organist From AAM to Zwingli, this dictionary is concise in its definitions and explanation, but quite thorough in its range of topics. Particularly refreshing to find are numerous references to documents and persons involved in the post-Vatican II liturgical music generation in the United States. Much information regarding the Jewish and Eastern Christian traditions is presented as well. For liturgical musicians, this is a particularly welcome and handy resource for the reference shelf. It's also a procrastinator's dream come true, since its entries are generously cross-referenced, enabling easy hours of wandering through the historical content of sacred music. Most highly recommended! AIM: Aids in Ministry Concise, yet comprehensive, this dictionary is easy to use, thanks to abundant cross references and selective bibliographies. It deserves a place in libraries, churches, synagogues and homes. Carol A. Pemberton, Editor, The Hymn Having this volume in one's library provides the user quick and basic information about many topics, terms, and persons related to the practice and study of church music. CrossAccent . . . it should be in every church musician's library. Brock W. Downward, President, Presbyterian Association of Musicians
