Christopher Meineke


Christopher Meineke was an American organist and composer.

Life

Born in Oldenburg, he later moved to England around 1810 and eventually settled in Baltimore in 1820. Meineke's secular works were published by the Baltimore-based music printer, John Cole. 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 or composing with the help of medieval era-evoking works by Felicia Hemans in a much more contemporary setting.
