Robert Lucas Pearsall (14 March 1795 – 5 August 1856) was an English composer mainly of vocal music, including an elaborate setting of "In dulci jubilo" and the richly harmonic part song Lay a garland of 1840, both still often performed today.
He spent the last 31 years of his life abroad, at first in Germany, then at a castle he bought in Switzerland.
