Luther's liturgical music : principles and implications by Robin A Leaver ( Book )
5 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 336 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Martin Luther's relationship to music has been largely downplayed, yet music played a vital role in Luther's life, and he in turn had a deep and lasting effect on Christian hymnody. In Luther's Liturgical Music, Robin Leaver comprehensively explores these connections.

Leaver's work makes a formidable contribution to Reformation studies, but worship leaders, musicians, and others will also find it an invaluable, very readable resource. - Publisher

6 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 198 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
