Historical Dictionary of Choral Music
A Library Journal Starred Review (March 2024) praises the book as a "remarkable resource that will please both musical professionals and amateurs, along with teachers and their students, and conductors and singers.” Throughout the ages, people have wanted to sing in a communal context. This desire apparently stems from a deeply rooted human instinct. Consequently, choral performance historically has often been related to human rituals and ceremonies, especially rites of a religious nature. Historical Dictionary of Choral Music, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,300 cross-referenced entries on composers, conductors, choral ensembles, choral genres, and choral repertoire. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about choral music.

Minds and Hearts in Praise of God
More than two dozen friends, colleagues, and former students honor the legacy and life of Hugh T. McElrath, one of church music's most respected hymnologists and teachers, by contributing essays, hymns, hymn texts, and commentary to this celebratory volume. Over the course of his long and successful career, Dr. McElrath impacted hundreds of future church leaders and musicians in his fifty years at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville and enriched the lives of worshippers around the world with his own hymns. "Minds and Hearts in Praise of God" celebrates Dr. McElrath's dedication to God and music through teaching, local church ministry, and foreign missions. Contributors include Carl P. Daw, Jr.; Harry Eskew; Donald P. Hustad; Austin C. Lovelace; Milburn Price; Brian Wren; Carlton R. Young; and other international music luminaries. Includes ten hymn texts and tunes written in McElrath's honor.
"I Will Sing the Wondrous Story"
Baptists have a long and rich heritage of congregational song. The hymns Baptists have sung and the books from which they have sung them have been shaping forces for Baptist theology, worship, and piety. Baptist authors and composers have provided songs that have made an impact not only among Baptists in America but also across denominational and geographic lines. Congregational singing continues to be a key component of Baptist worship in the twenty-first century. Beginning with an overview of the British background, this book is a survey of the history of Baptist hymnody in America from Baptist beginnings in the New World to the present. Its intent is to help the reader better understand t...
Public Worship, Private Faith
The Sacred Harp, a tunebook that first appeared in 1844, has stood as a model of early American musical culture for most of this century. Tunebooks such as this, printed in shape notes for public singing and singing schools, followed the New England tradition of singing hymns and Psalms from printed music. Nineteeth-century Americans were inundated by such books, but only the popularity of The Sacred Harp has endured throughout the twentieth century. With this tunebook as his focus, John Bealle surveys definitive moments in American musical history, from the lively singing schools of the New England Puritans to the dramatic theological crises that split New England Congregationalism, from th...
