Biography
Filitz was born in Arnstadt, County of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, in 1804. He received a PhD and lived in Berlin from 1833, working as a music critic among other employment. In 1841, Filitz was shortlisted to be a censor of the Prussian state, although there were concerns he would be too strict. He moved to Munich in 1847, where his legacy of valuable church music is now in the Bavarian State Library. Through his collections of church music from the 16th and 17th, he made many forgotten works available once again.
One of his tunes, Mannheim, is one to which the hymn Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us, with words by English architect and hymn writer James Edmeston, has been set.[1]
