One of the elder statesmen of Spanish-language liturgical music in the US, Eleazar Cortés has a rich legacy of beautiful music and years of service to the Church.
Born in New York and raised in El Salvador, Jaime Cortez is fluent in Spanish and has dedicated a portion of his ministry to promoting better Hispanic liturgies and bringing cultures together for worship.
With more than 45 years of composing under his belt, Dr. Hurd knows a thing or two about music and liturgy. That might explain why so many of his songs for worship have become classics in the repertoire.
