POVERTY

Composer: M. Lee Suitor

M. Lee Suitor retired to Seattle, WA (2000) from his career as an organist, conductor, and specialist in children's education. He continues to compose, the area for which he is best known. His hymns appear in six hymnals in current use, including the 1982 Hymnal of the Episcopal Church and the Hymnal of the Memorial Chapel at Harvard University. The commission, "God's Promises" (1987) from Union Theological Seminary, an extended work for parish choir and instruments, is cherished among audiences and performers. Go to person page >
