I have a document that is now 34 pages long in Word that is a place for making note of compositions I come across that set or otherwise intersect directly with a biblical text. I have been trying to decide what to do with it. Clearly if I had foreseen how it would grow I would have made an Excel or Google spreadsheet. I may still do that, but what is really needed is a database of music related to the Bible, not only indicating the texts that a song is related to but whether it is a more-or-less direct setting of words from the Bible, a paraphrase, an expansion on a biblical story, or merely contains an allusion. Perhaps something like the Deus Ex Musica database project for non-choral sacred music<\/a>. Anyone have time and interest to create something like that? If so, here are some you can start with.
