Johann Justus Kahle (11 February 1668 in Helmstedt – c. 1731 in Clausthal-Zellerfeld) was a German organist and composer.

Life

He was born, son of the baker Bathold Kahle, on 11 February 1668, and christened on 12 April 1668 in the church St. Stephani [de]. Nothing is known of his childhood; and his name cannot be found in the records of the Academia Julia. He was first organist at St. Stephani, then he moved to be organist at Zellerfeld.[1]

He is known today only through the discovery in the library in Ostrava of his church consecration cantatas which he composed on behalf of Otto Ludwig von Veltheim around 1704.[2]

• Ich hebe meine Augen auf zu den Bergen (Psalm 121), cantata for soprano, solo violin and basso continuo
