Johann Bahr
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]
