Stokrocki, Stokrecki, Samuel, Polish organist. At least from 1628 to 1651 or longer, he was in the royal band in Warsaw. Information on his life are very scarce. In 1629, the instrumentalist J. Gommer relinquished an annual salary of 158 florins to Stokrocki, paid from the Wieliczka župa, administrative division. In 1641, Stokrocki relinquished the lease of an inn in the village of Wal near Radłowo, while at the same time owing 600 florins to Adam Gołda, musician to the Lviv archbishop. Stokrocki’s only known work, probably representing a one-time compositional episode, is a short 4-voice circular canon published in Xenia Apollinea, a supplement to M. Scacchi’s treatise Cribrum musicum (Venice 1643).
