Lutheran Music and Meaning

Music has meaning.
More than a series of notes, more than associated verbal texts, more than personal entertainment-music has meaning.
In Lutheran Music and Meaning, author Daniel Zager demonstrates how music signals and conveys meaning. With suggested listening examples, chapters discuss the means that the great Lutheran composers used to convey meaning and in what ways liturgy, Church Year, and lectionary provide integrated contexts for meaning.
Written specifically for the singer and listener, this book assists the curious in learning more about Lutheran music, its function, and its meaning.
