| 1. |  | The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music from Berkley Trade Price: $10.20 Customer Review:  Victor Wooten has succeeded in communicating a complete "how to" concerning what plagues most most musicians: the transfer of your emotional attachment to the music to the audience. Many musicians become so wrapped up in the technique they lose the ability to let the music flow and speak to them and... |

| 3. |  | The Mysticism of Sound and Music (Shambhala Dragon Editions) from Shambhala Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I must admit I had heard of Hazrat Inayat Khan a long time ago and been a little sceptical of his works as they were mostly popular amongst the 'supermarket spirituality' brigade. You know, the kind who have a copy of Gibrans "The prophet" under their arms and Moroccan incense burning at home. |

| 6. |  | Contemporary Worship Music: A Biblical Defense from P & R Publishing Price: $8.79 Customer Review: I read this book after reading Dan Lucarini's book on the same topic. I found John Frame's arguments to be excellent. Of course, it always helps that I agreed with him, and have reached the same conclusions. In fact, I knew and used the vast majority of the contemporary songs that he mentioned in... |

| 8. |  | The Jewish Fake Book (Fake Books) from Tara Publications Price: $15.61 Customer Review:  This book contains about 200 tunes. In general, I would recommend this book. The arranger, Velvel Pasternak did not always finish the chord symbols at the ends of songs and sometimes left out (a few) chords in the middle of songs. These were easy to figure out, however. The other drawback I found... |

| 9. |  | Music and Theology (Horizons in Theology) from Abingdon Press Price: $8.40 Customer Review: This book offers a relatively brief but highly engaging essay on the major concerns and questions regarding music as it intersects with theology--past and present.

For the first time in 40 years I can actually read and chant Torah using the trope marks.

| 12. |  | The Musician's Soul: A Journey Examining Spirituality for Performers, Teachers, Composers, Conductors, and Music Educators from GIA Publications Price: $21.95 Customer Review: I bought this book back in March and it set on my shelf until this past weekend. I wish I hadn't waited so long. Many issues Jordan addresses in the book spoke directly to my own personal AND professional situation, especially the concept of "shedding." If I had one criticism of the book, it... |

Eerdmans Publishing Company Price: $18.00 Customer Review: Calvin Stapert's book is a must-read for every church musician and for anyone interested in the roots of Christian culture.

| 17. |  | Compleat Klezmer from Tara Publications Price: $14.95 Customer Review: This is a well-compiled, approachable and fun collection of Klezmer songs. If you're looking to get into Klezmer music this is great place to start. Be sure to get the recordings as well, as they provide some great musical insights that can't be reflected on the page. |

| 20. |  | Music And Morals: Dispelling the Myth that Music Is Amoral from WinePress Publishing Price: $11.04 Customer Review:  I was a little apprehensive about reading this book because I actually make a living in the area of contemporary Christian music. But I am not one to shy away from truth no matter where it takes me, and I am on a personal journey to eradicate the "traditions of men" from my own Christian walk. And... |

| 23. |  | Sing With Understanding: An Introduction to Christian Hymnology from Genevox Music Group Price: $29.95 Customer Review: Harry Eskew and Hugh McElrath had a twofold purpose for writing "Singing with Understanding." The primary purpose is their hope that this book would be used as a textbook in Christian colleges and Seminaries to better educate professional church workers on the history and use of hymns (along with... |

| 24. |  | The Singing Thing: A Case for Congregational Song from GIA Publications Price: $15.00 Customer Review: This delightful new handbook explores the reasons we, as humans, are compelled to express ourselves in song. The author has compiled a list of charming introspections about what motivates us to sing or prevents us from singing. Whether we sing to tell stories or don't sing because someone once told... |

| 27. |  | Gregorian Chant (Midland Book) from Indiana University Press Price: $22.50 Customer Review: Apel's book on chant was the standard work on the subject until David Hiley's Western Plainchant: A Handbook was published in 1993. Nevertheless, I turn to Apel again and again for his analyses of the standard phrases found in certain genres of chant (Great Responsories, Graduals, Tracts). Its an... |

| 28. |  | Musics of Many Cultures: An Introduction from University of California Press Price: $35.95 Customer Review: This book is, I think, basically designed to be a college text on non-European music. If you're like me, you've been out of college quite a while, but I think you'll find this to be a useful reference volume if you're interested in alternative musical traditions. Perhaps it's my imagination or... |

| 31. |  | The Oxford Book of Spirituals from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $17.96 Customer Review: The Oxford choral collections are all excellent. This one, issued shortly before Moses Hogan's death, is no exception. Hogan selected 28 spirituals covering the twentieth century from 1914 through 2001. The best selection, in my opinion, is "Fix Me Jesus" by Hall Johnson from 1955. The volume is... |
