May 19 - Albert Hay Malotte (The Musical Birthday Series)

Surprising, Albert Hay Malotte (19 May 1895 – 16 November 1964) wrote music for Disney cartoons, but he will be forever known for his effective, if bombastic, setting of the Lord's Prayer. 

Deliver Us

Of the numerous songs by Malotte,

There’s one that is heard quite a lot.

And while the “Lord's Prayer”

Is sung everywhere,

The rest, thank the heavens, are not.
