Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers by Patrick Kavanaugh

I teach Music History at a local Christian College, and find this book a helpful resource when discussing individual composers. The historical evidence for J.S. Bach's faith is undisputed; Wagner's, however....well, the author tries to make the best of it, and strikes me as a bit of an apologist. All in all, decent, short, biographies.
