From Song of America :
Jean Berger ( September 27, 1909 – May 28, 2002 )was a German-born pianist, composer, and music educator. He lived in France for many years and in 1943 became a U.S. citizen. His songs include settings of Langston Hughes and Emily Dickinson. Berger’s compositions have been extensively performed by leading choral and orchestral organizations in Europe and the United States. His choral works constitute the bulk of his compositions, where he avoids an academic style, preferring a pragmatic blend of Franco-German folk music, South American melody and rhythm, and polyphonic modality. Brazilian Psalm (1941) has entered the standard American choral repertory, and it remains Berger’s most popular composition.
