George Ratcliffe Woodward
1848 - 1934 Person Name: George R. Woodward Harmonizer of "PUER NOBIS NASCITUR" in Sing the Faith Educated at Caius College in Cambridge, England, George R. Woodward (b. Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, 1848; d. Highgate, London, England, 1934) was ordained in the Church of England in 1874. He served in six parishes in London, Norfolk, and Suffolk. He was a gifted linguist and translator of a large number of hymns from Greek, Latin, and German. But Woodward's theory of translation was a rigid one–he held that the translation ought to reproduce the meter and rhyme scheme of the original as well as its contents. This practice did not always produce singable hymns; his translations are therefore used more often today as valuable resources than as congregational hymns. With Charles Wood he published three series of The Cowley Carol Book (1901, 1902, 1919), two editions of Songs of Syon (1904, 1910), An Italian Carol Book (1920), and the Cambridge Carol Book

Michael Praetorius
1571 - 1621 Person Name: Michael Praetorius, 1571-1621 Adapter of "PUER NOBIS" in With One Voice Born into a staunchly Lutheran family, Michael Praetorius (b. Creuzburg, Germany, February 15, 1571; d. Wolfenbüttel, Germany, February 15, 1621) was educated at the University of Frankfort-an-der-Oder. In 1595 he began a long association with Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick, when he was appointed court organist and later music director and secretary. The duke resided in Wolfenbüttel, and Praetorius spent much of his time at the court there, eventually establishing his own residence in Wolfenbüttel as well. When the duke died, Praetorius officially retained his position, but he spent long periods of time engaged in various musical appointments in Dresden, Magdeburg, and Halle. Praetorius produced a prodigious amount of music and music theory. His church music consists of over one thousand titles, including the sixteen-volume Musae Sionae (1605-1612), which contains Lutheran hymns in settings ranging from two voices to multiple choirs. His Syntagma Musicum (1614-1619) is a veritable encyclopedia of music and includes valuable information about the musical instruments of his time.

Saint Hildegard
1098 - 1179 Person Name: Hidegard of Bingen, 1098-1179 Author of "O Holy Spirit, Root of Life" in Evangelical Lutheran Worship Hildegard, St., Virgin and Abbess, was born at Bockelheim, or Bockenheim, Frankfurt, 1098. Her father, Hildebert, was one of the Knights of Meginhard, Count of Spanheim. When eight years old she was committed to tho care of a sister of the Count, Jutta, the Abbess of St. Disibod, a position in which she was succeeded by Hildegard in 1136. Under the rule of Hildegard the convent became so crowded that a new one was built at Rupertsberg, near Bingen, into which, in 1147, Hildegard removed with eighteen Sisters. Hildegard gained great notoriety in very early life on account of visions to which, it is said, she was subject from her 6th to her 15th year. In later life she filled a considerable place in the history of her times, not only as a writer who had the courage of her opinions, and spared neither high nor low in her vigorous denunciations of their shortcomings, political as well as moral, but as a prophetess and preacher. At the instigation of St. Bernard she took a most prominent part in stirring up the unfortunate crusade which he preached, and engaged in many controversies with the hierarchy of her Church. Though she never ceased to be the abbess of the convent she had founded, much of her time was spent in travelling about the Continent, preaching and prophesying. She died in 1179, and was buried at Eupertsberg, but her remains were removed, on the destruction of that convent by the Swedes, to Eilingen, in 1622.
Though St. Hildegard was a voluminous writer her contributions to the hymnody of her day were neither numerous nor important. Mone gives three sequences which are attributed to her, viz., one on the Holy Spirit, “0 ignis Spiritus paracliti"; another on the Blessed Virgin Mary, "0 Virga ac diadema purpurae Regis"; and a third on St. Disibod, "0 praesul verae civitatis."
