Luther's liturgical music : principles and implications by
Robin A Leaver(
Book
)
9 editions published between 2007 and 2017 in English and held by 363 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. Replete with tables, figures, and musical examples, this volume is the most extensive study on Luther and music ever published. 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

J.S. Bach's "Leipzig" chorale preludes : music, text, theology by
Anne Leahy(
Book
)
5 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 179 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Originally composed in Weimar and later revised in Leipzig, J.S. Bach's chorale preludes have been a source of some puzzlement. However, Bach scholar Anne Leahy argues that through the careful examination of the links among the music, hymn texts, and theological sources some answers may be had. In her book, Leahy considers the critical relationship between the texts of the hymns and their relationship to the chorales, outlining a theological pattern vital to fully grasping the guiding philosophy of these compositions.

The whole church sings : congregational singing in Luther's Wittenberg by
Robin A Leaver(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2017 in English and held by 133 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Authoritative study by a renowned musicologist and Reformation scholar Many scholars think that congregational singing was not established in Lutheran worship until well after the start of the Reformation. In this book Robin A. Leaver calls that view into question, presenting new research to confirm the earlier view that congregational singing was both the intention and the practice right from the beginning of the Wittenberg reforms in worship. Leaver's study focuses on the Wittenberg hymnal of 1526, which until now has received little scholarly attention. This hymnal, Leaver argues, shows how the Lutheran Reformation was to a large degree defined, expressed, promoted, and taken to heart through early Lutheran hymns. Examining what has been forgotten or neglected about the origins of congregational hymnody under Martin Luther's leadership, this study of worship, music, and liturgy is a significant contribution to Reformation scholarship

A Communion Sunday in Scotland ca. 1780 : liturgies and sermons by
John Logan(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 84 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Sources for 17th, 18th, and early 19th-century Eucharistic practices in the Church of Scotland are scarce, in part because each minister was free to draw up the form and content of the services he conducted. In addition, many 19th and 20th century liturgical scholars chose to dismiss this form of public worship, instead focusing on the earlier tradition of the Book of Common Order. A Communion Sunday in Scotland ca. 1780: Liturgies and Sermons addresses the dearth of these liturgical studies by presenting a modern edition of a late 18th-century published account of Communion Sunday in the Church of Scotland. --from publisher description
