Johann Bahr (1610?-1670) was a German-Swedish organist and composer. The only surviving compositions by him were written by him in the Visby Tablature.
Bahr performed an important role as an intermediary between the north German music tradition and Gotland’s music life during the island’s first years as a part of Sweden.[1]
Life
Bahr was probably born in Schleswig around 1610. He traveled to Visby in 1630 (he had come into the possession of the Visby Tablature before this). He became the substitute organist at Visby domkyrka sometime in the 1630s, and in 1638 he was promoted to organist after the death of David Herlicius. He passed away in June 1670.
Analysis
Willi Apel
The Magnificat by Bahr has been described by nothing of particular interest. On the other hand, O Lux beata Trinitas was described as a noteworthy early example of the extended chorale fantasy replete with echoes and echo-like sound effects.[2]
Works
In addition to two vocal cantatas in the same manuscript (Concert a 4 voce: So Ziehet Hin f.81v-82r, Concert a sola voce: Befiehle Dem Herren Deine Wege f.82v-83r), Bahr copied two of his organ compositions into the Visby Tablature.
