Karl Ludwig Drobisch (24 December 1803 – 20 August 1854) was a German composer, music theorist and church musician.
He wrote an oratorio about Saint Boniface, but it was not successful, which made him turn to composing sacred music including 18 masses.

[2] Karl attended secondary school at the highly-esteemed Fürstenschule St. Augustin zu Grimma starting in 1817.
[1] Following this his style changed, and he focused on works of a purer religious nature, including 18 masses as well as graduals, offertories and psalm settings.
