Peter J. Wilhousky (1902, Passaic, New Jersey - 1978) was a popular Ukrainian-Carpatho-Rusyn-American composer, educator, and choral director. He was featured on several broadcasts of classical music with Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, including the historic 1947 broadcast of Verdi's opera Otello. He wrote the English lyrics to the popular "Carol of the Bells". His arrangement of the Battle Hymn of the Republic for Chorus, Band, and Orchestra, is probably the most famous arrangement of the hymn after the 1940s in the United States.
