Music has always been a huge part of religious worship. "A Lyrical Vision: The Music Documents of the US Bishops" traces the history of Catholic music and its evolution through recent history in the United States. A scholarly eye and ear is paid to the history; author Edward Foley presents a fine chronicle. "A Lyrical Vision" is a top pick for religious studies collections, recommended.
