Christopher Meineke

Born in Oldenburg, he later moved to England around 1810 and eventually settled in Baltimore in 1820.^{[n 1]} Meineke's secular works were published by the Baltimore-based music printer, John Cole.^[2] As a composer, his alternative first names were Charles and Karl. Meineke was known for his interests in medieval and early Christian-themed composition, such as recreating Gloria Patri (Glory Be to the Father)^[3] or composing with the help of medieval era-evoking works by Felicia Hemans^[4] in a much more contemporary setting.
