Johann Groh

Johann Groh [also Ghro, Gro, Groe, Grohe etc.] (b Dresden, c1575; d probably at Weesenstein, Saxony, probably in 1627). was a German composer and organist. He may well have received his first musical education as a choirboy in the Saxon electoral Hofkapelle at Dresden under Rogier Michael. In 1604 he became organist of the electoral school of St Afra at Meissen. At about this time he came to the notice of the music-loving Rudolf von Bünau, whose seat was the castle at Weesenstein.
