Marty Haugen (born December 30, 1950) is an American composer of liturgical music.
Biography
Marty Haugen was born December 30, 1950, in
Wanamingo, Minnesota. He was raised in the
American Lutheran Church (ALC) in Minnesota, and became a member the
United Church of Christ. He writes contemporary hymns and liturgical music for the Lutheran church. Haugen holds a B.A. degree in psychology from
Luther College and an M.A. degree in pastoral studies from the
University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. Haugen pursues a career as a liturgical composer and workshop presenter.
The majority of his compositions are published by
GIA Publications. His works include two settings of the liturgy for
Lutheran use, "Holden Evening Prayer" and "
Now the Feast and Celebration", and settings of the
Catholic Mass, including the "Mass of Creation". However, the USCCB has advised parishes not to use "Canticle of the Sun" due to "incorrect Christian Anthropology".
