A. Cortada

A. Cortada is identified in several hymn indexes as an arranger associated with the LUCY or LULLABY setting of Savior! Hear Us, We Pray. Reliable public biographical details are limited. The arrangement adapts Brahms's familiar lullaby melody for the short prayer text and refrain. Because some sources differ in how they credit the tune and arrangement, Cortada should be described as an arranger rather than as the original composer.
