Daniel L. Schutte (born 1947, Neenah, Wisconsin) is an American composer of Catholic liturgical music and a contemporary Christian songwriter best known for composing the hymn Here I Am, Lord, also known as ''I, the Lord of Sea and Sky'', (1981). ==Biography== Schutte grew up in Elm Grove, Wisconsin and graduated from Marquette University High School before entering the Jesuits. He was one of the founding members of the St. Louis Jesuits who popularized a contemporary style of church music set to sacred texts sung in English as a result of the liturgical reforms initiated by Vatican II. He released nine collections with the St. Louis Jesuits and a 30-year anniversary collection in 2005. Their second recording, ''Earthen Vessels'' sold over one million albums, 〔"The St. Louis Jesuit: Thirty Years" Oregon Catholic Press 2006 archives ]〕 and as a result, beginning with hymnals such as ''Glory and Praise'', their music became standard repertoire in Catholic parishes across the country. Other members of the St. Louis Jesuits are Bob Dufford, Roc O'Connor, John Foley and Tim Manion. He left the Jesuit order in 1986. His compositions are primarily written for liturgical use, particularly in Catholic worship but, over time, have found their way into Protestant worship. Some of the more notable include "City of God" (1981), "Only This I Want" (1981), "Blest Be the Lord" (1976), "You Are Near" (1971), "Though the Mountains May Fall" (1975), "Sing a New Song" (1972), "Glory and Praise to Our God" (1976) "Table of Plenty" (1992) and "These Alone Are Enough" (2004), his setting of the Ignatian Suscipe prayer. "The St. Louis Jesuit Mass,"(1973), co authored during his collaborative years, was the most used Mass setting during the 70's and 80's in the United States. With the implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition in 2012, it was decided not to revise it. Schutte's composition of "Mass of God's Promise" (1996, revised 2010) continues to have wide use. "Mass of Christ the Savior," released in 2012 quickly became one of the most widely used Mass Settings throughout the English speaking world.〔http://www.icelweb.org/copyright.htm〕〔http://www.ocp.org/recommendedsettings〕〔https://www.licensingonline.org/en-us〕 Many notable Christian artists such as Chris Christian, Amy Grant and John Michael Talbot have recorded his compositions. In 2006, he wrote the component of a major catechetical program for teachers on the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola and the use of music in prayer. In 2009, Twenty – Third Publications released a new book "Walking the Sacred Path – Spiritual Exercises for Today". He continues to compose new music, write about spirituality and is an in-demand presenter on liturgy, and the role of music as sung prayer. In addition to his Jesuit formation, Schutte holds two master of arts degrees, one in theology and one in liturgy from The Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.〔(Dan Schutte -- Biography at Oregon Catholic Press )〕 Schutte is also an alumni of St. Louis University and Seattle University.〔(Dan Schutte -- Awards )〕 He did graduate studies in music composition under the direction of Fr.
