Subject headings are often a more accurate and comprehensive way of searching for a topic than keyword searching. Subject headings can be found on the left-hand column of search results in the catalog, or at the end of a book's catalog entry.
Here are some sample subject searches:
Try general searches like "church music, worship, music in churches" and also try searching by denomination or place ("church music, Lutheran Church" or "worship, Germany"), by musical style ("gospel music, contemporary Christian music"), and by liturgy or time of year("Epiphany music, Easter music")
