Life

Born: Dresden, Germany, March 1822

Biography Possibly born as Theodor Felix von Hacke. Studied composition with K.G. Reissiger in Dresden. Came to the USA in 1842 and settled in New Orleans. First publications in 1846. On 19 February 1846 married Maria Emilia Johnston at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New Orleans. In 1850, he became the first organist at St. Theresa of Avila but also served as choir director and organist at St. Patrick’s, where he was succeeded by Gregorio Curto in 1855. Wrote 12 masses, published into the 1920s.

"All the Masses by (LaHache)" - Society of St. Gregory Black List, 1922 They really are pretty operatic; I'm not sure even I would use them.
