RICHARD HILLERT (1923-2010)

I just learned through the CTNMusic message boards that a second well-known composer died last Thursday. Richard Hillert, just one month short of his 87th birthday, died last Thursday. Though many of his works are included mainly in Lutheran hymnals, one hymn of his stands out in hymnals of many denominations, including Roman Catholic - Festival Canticle: Worthy is Christ (This is the feast of victory for our God).

Peace,
