Of making many books there is no end . . . Ecclesiastes 12:12
And so goes the publishing industry. Now don’t get me wrong: I love books. I’m eagerly anticipating the FedEx delivery truck dropping off a box from CPH on Friday with the new edition of Walther’s Law and Gospel, a volume of Sasse, and two volumes of essays by Robert Preus.
As a church musician I get excited (or at least a bit interested) when music publishers, primarily CPH and MorningStar Music, release their new music (which CPH has been doing over the last few weeks). Is there a new treasure waiting to be found? A new (or old) text just waiting to burst in song? Did any of the composers on my short list compose anything new?
