Larrick, a percussionist and teacher, assembles an annotated list of publications by Per-Mus, a company based in Columbus, Ohio, that was owned by his mentor James L. Moore, who sought to publish percussion music not printed elsewhere. Larrick aids performers in choosing music by giving information on the level of difficulty of pieces as well as their instrumentation. By incorporating personal anecdotes (both biographical and musical) relating to the pieces, he gives the volume a casual tone. Some pieces included are those by Mozart, Bach, Gounod, Beethoven, Debussy, Kabalevsky, and many lesser known and local composers. Annotation :2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

The purpose and scope of this bibliography is to survey the literature concerning church music, primarily in publications from 1980 to the present, while including materials that have been published and serve as primary resources earlier than that. The emphasis is on Protestant church music, largely those published in the English language. The selected lists include over 700 titles, and contain citations with annotations of reference works and bibliographies. The annotations offer an indication of the scope, content, and special features of each work. This study will fill the research and reference needs of music students, scholars, and church musicians, as well as providing research and college libraries with a reference for building their church music collections.
This book provides an extensive resource on the life and works of Warren Benson. His music is created out of such depth of experience that one can only understand and fully appreciate it through a more astute understanding of the man.
