For My Mother

Description

Albert Hay Malotte (May 19, 1895 – November 16, 1964) was an American pianist, organist, composer and educator, best known for his musical setting of The Lord's Prayer.



His secular songs, such as “Ferdinand the Bull” (from the Disney animated short of the same name), “For my mother” (a setting of a poem by 12-year-old Bobby Sutherland), and “I am proud to be an American” are less well remembered. Some of his works are collected in the library of the University of California Los Angeles and the Library of Congress.
