Matthew H Corl

Matthew H. Corl was an American composer and musician active in the 19th century who contributed to the development of American Protestant hymnody. Little is documented about his personal life, including his birth and death dates, but his compositions were published in various hymnal collections of his era. Corl's works reflect the musical traditions of American evangelical and mainline Protestant churches during the 1800s. His compositions demonstrate the harmonic and melodic conventions typical of 19th-century American hymn writing, contributing to the broader tradition of congregational sacred music in the United States.
