Richard Hillert

Enhance worship with magnificent compositions
Worthy Is Christ began with the SATB arrangement of the well-known hymn, "Festival Canticle: Worthy Is Christ," which had never before been published. Selecting and recording an accompanying set of Richard's other choral works followed and, thus, the collection was born. A well-known and highly respected church music composer within the Lutheran Church and across all Christian denominations, Richard educated several generations of liturgical musicians.

Enjoy beautiful a cappella arrangements
A beautiful addition to any liturgical or choral repertoire, this remarkable collection will be appreciated by directors of both church and university choral programs. While the majority of the pieces are flawlessly scored for a cappella SATB choir, the joyful version of "Festival Canticle: Worthy Is Christ" features timpani, brass and cello and is appropriate for use throughout the Easter season as well as the solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

Sing and worship throughout the year
"Go Into All the World," Richard's last known choral work, features a text based on Mark 16:15–16 in an accessible setting for a cappella SATB choir. Additionally, the collection provides selections for Christmas, Lent and Easter as well as a captivating setting of Psalm 23. Together, the songs on this collection offer high quality choral music for use throughout the year.

Tracks: As Lately We Watched | What Sweeter Musick | Shepherding Their Sheep | If You Bring Your Gift to the Altar | Te Deum | Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs | This Joyful Eastertide | The Lord's My Shepherd | Go into All the World | Festival Canticle: Worthy Is Christ
