American Composer

Low­ell Ma­son wrote over 1,600 re­li­gious works, and is of­ten called the “fa­ther of Amer­i­can church music.” His works in­clude "Nearer, My God, to Thee," "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," and "From Greenland's Icy Mountains."

 

In addition to this Mason set to music the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and it is debated whether the tune of the famous hymn and Christmas carol "Joy to the World" is written by George Frideric Handel or by Mason himself.
