Persichetti worked on various Parables for 20 years. I'm looking for more information on these. Did each work correspond to a particular parable in a gospel book? What's a good resource for this information?

V.P. was a friend of mine. I know that he worked incessantly at his music and teaching. His parables have no religious significance. They are mostly short pieces that he wrote while taking a "breather" from his work on larger pieces, or from unused sketches. He also wrote many "Serenades" in several movements for various instrumental compositions. They are collections of short pieces.
