Most people probably recognized the offertory yesterday, the tried and true (and possibly tired) old chestnut, Malotte's Lord's Prayer. Albert Malotte was born in Philadelphia in 1895 and died in Los Angeles in 1964. Most of his career was as a composer in Hollywood. He was trained in church music and was himself an organist.
One of the preludes, the loudest one, was an arrangement of "A mighty fortress is our God."
Don't ask me for the title of the postlude. There was none since the service ended outside with five baptisms.
