The Influence Of Plainsong On The Chorales Of Luther And Those Of His Day, Fred L. Precht

In a treatise of this type let it suffice to state but a few of its fundamental principles. Needless to say, it is of the utmost importance that one have at least a general conception of what constitutes this music in order to properly evaluate its influence on the Lutheran chorale.

Religion In The Negro Spiritual, Hubert R. Hasskamp

Bachelor of Divinity

Music In California State Institutions, David L. Harms

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The institutions included in this study are all maintained and controlled by the State of California. However, the music program is not outlined or prescribed by the State but is arranged by the administration of each institution. Consequently, one institution music program differs from another, and it was necessary to contact each institution in order to get the information included in this report.

Since very little material is available on this subject, it was necessary to obtain most of this information first hand. The methods employed were questionnaire and correspondence, direct interviews with superintendents and musical directors, and observation. An …
