Georg Gottfried Huller came from a devout Maravian family. His father was Bishop Buchard Muller. Our saint entered the world at Gross Hennersdorf, near Herrnhut, Saxony, the Moravian headquarters. He attended school at Barby before emigrating to the nascent United States of America in 1784. Muller's American life started with him teaching at the boys' school and the collegium musicum at Nazareth, Pennsylvania, from 1785 to 1788. Next he taught at Lititz, Pennsylvania, where he led the collegium musicum. Muller, the husband of Johanna Levering of Jamaica, served next at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Then, from 1805 to 1814, he served churches at Beersheba and Gnadenhutten, Ohio. Subsequent pastorates were in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Newport, Rhode Island. Bad health forced his retirement in 1819. Muller spent his last two years at Lititz, where he died of consumption on March 19, 1821. Muller also composed anthems for use in churches. Among these musical works were "You Are Precious to Him" and "Lamb of God, Thou Shalt Remain Forever.") <https://neatnik2009.wordpress.com/2014/12/29/feast-of-georg-gottfried-muller-may-22/> |
