Georg Joseph (c. 1620 – c. 1668[1]) was a German Baroque composer who served at the court of prince-bishop of Breslau.[2] He was from 1657 to 1668 the musical collaborator of Johann Schefflers (Angelus Silesius) who published a collection of sacred songs titled Heilige Seelen-Lust oder geistliche Hirten-Lieder der in ihren Jesum verliebten Psyche, printed by the Baumannschen Drukkerey in 1657.[lower-alpha 1] 184 of the 200 Melodies with a bass line were written by Joseph. They were expressive and used occasional melismas to interpret the text.[1]

Several of Joseph's melodies to Scheffler's texts were reprinted in the Grüssauer Passionsbuch (Schmertzhaffter Lieb- und Creutz-Weeg), a book to reflect the Stations of the Cross at Grüssau Abbey, printed in 1682 by the abbot Bernhard Rosa [de].

Joseph's melodies to "Ich will dich lieben, meine Stärke" and "Morgenstern der finstern Nacht" are part of the Catholic hymnal Gotteslob, as GL 358 and GL 372.
