ビルホーンの姓はもともとPulhornだった。当時イリノイ州オタワの裁判官であったアブラハム・リンカーンによって「ビルホーン」に変更されたという。ピーターと彼の兄弟は、イリノイ州シカゴで「the Eureka Wagon and Carriage Works」を結成した。その後、ピーターは、ジョージ・ルート(George Root)、ジョージ・ステビンズ(George Stebbins)などのもとで勉強しながら、ゴスペル・ミュージックに関わるようになった。彼は生涯に約2,000曲のゴスペル・ソングを書き、伝道者ビリー・サンデーと共にしばらく働いた。彼はまた携帯パンプオルガンを考案し、イリノイ州シカゴに「Bilhorn Folding Organ Company」を設立した。それは19世紀後半のリバイバルで使用された。 ビルホーンの最も重要な経歴のひとつは、1900年にロンドンを訪れた時のこと、クリスタルパレスで4,000人の合唱団を指揮し、ビクトリア女王にバッキンガム宮殿で歌うようにと招待された。 作品を含む出版物： Crowning Glory No. 1, 1888 Crowning Glory No. 2 (Chicago, Illinois: 1890) Soul Winning Songs (Chicago, Illinois: 1895) Sunshine Songs Songs of Peace and Power Century Gospel Hymns Songs for Male Choruses Sacred and Secular Selections for Ladies’ Voices, 1900 Songs and Stories of Mother, Childhood and Home (Chicago, Illinois: Bilhorn Brothers, 1903) Hymns of Faith and Victory, with C.
