While these eighteen chorale preludes have received much scholarly attention, they continue to inspire new ideas. The late Anne Leahys monograph explores their liturgical purpose and theological meaning in the context of Bachs Lutheran world. Leahy bases her observations on the chorale texts, detailed analysis of the music, and writings by Luther and his followers. Her analysis includes discussion of other music by Bach, mostly vocal works with similar subjects and approaches to setting the text. As background, she highlights commentary from other Bach scholars from Spitta forward. Leahys comprehensive approach adds another resource for the organist to enrich performance. ... The book. . . serves as a valuable resource for the organist and student of Bach. . . . Leahys observations are thoughtful and often original. * The American Organist *
