Two very prominent church musicians died yesterday:
Richard Hillert: March 14, 1923-Feburary 18, 2010
Richard Hillert, who is probably best known in Lutheran circles as the composer of Setting 1 in the Lutheran Book of Worship, died last night in his home following complications from a stroke he suffered last August. His funeral service of Holy Communion will be held at Grace Lutheran Church in River Forest, Illinois on Monday, March 1 at 7:00 p.m. For more information on Hillert's life and work, see the article his daughter has been compiling in Wikipedia.
Richard Proulx: April, 1937-Feburary 18, 2010
Richard Proulx, well-known composer, conductor, organist and music editor, also died yesterday in Chicago. For more information on Proulx's life and work, see the biography on his web site.
