Reviews for Mormonism and Music: A History
Winner of the Award in Criticism from the Association for Mormon Letters, 1989. "Hicks's [book] is a model of scholarly research and is broad in perspective and application. By placing Mormon music in the context of its social and ecclesiastical history, Hicks provides a new and penetrating view of American diversity and its interaction with European tradition."
