Fabricius, Jan from Żywiec, Fabrycy, Fabrzycki, Żywecensis, Żywiec, †1665(?), Polish composer and singer (bass), priest. No data available on his activities prior to 1630. In that year, he became a cathedral vicar, a position he held until around 1639. At the same time, from around 1630, he was a substitute member of the Rorantists’ ensemble, and from 1633 also a member of the Rorantists’ ensemble. Fabricius’s work has been preserved in the Krakow collections, albeit incompletely, in the form of a four-part missa parodia (two voices, the third only fragmentary) based on the motet by Wacław of Szamotuły, In te Domine speravi.
