?A happy colloboration between choral conductor and librarian that will be greeted with relief and gratitude by anyone who might be contemplating the performance of any work by Schutz. With three collected editions at various stages of completion, and nearly 80 publishers involved in the publication of Schutz projects or individual works, this superb source will save enormous amounts of energy and alleviate frustration caused by lack of information concerning the language of the edition and the notes, whether or not the figured bass is realized, and indications of transposition. Three indexes are provided, a complete title index by Schtz-Werke Verzeichnis (SWV) number, a text source index, and, perhaps the most useful of all, an index of performance forces employed. A must for all college reference shelves.?-Choice
