Johann Bahr (1610?-1670) 

Sometime before 1630, Johann Bahr became the owner of the Visby Tablature, a manuscript containing the organ magnificats by Hieronymus Praetorius among other pieces. In 1630, he moved to Visby (now in Sweden) and later wrote four of his compositions in blank pages in the Visby Tablature. These are the only four pieces by Bahr that survive.
