The overall oeuvre of Johanna Senfter only includes three free organ works: 'Fantasie und Fuge' Op. 30a (in: Female Composers, ED 9741), the present variations 'Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit' Op. 66 and an organ piece in D minor without opus number. Together with the three cycles of chorale preludes Op. 30b, Op. 70 (Schott ED 9603) and Op. 73, the instrument of the organ occupies a rather small part in her oeuvre. That puts the obvious point of view, namely to see the composer of such a 'choral fantasia' mainly as a student of Reger, into perspective. It is, on the contrary, worth to get to know this major work as a facet of the long life of an artist whose major works still wait to be rediscovered.

One in Love and Peace is a comprehensive and practical collection of the most frequently requested wedding instrumentals, including such classics as “Canon in D” by Pachelbel, “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner, and “Ode to Joy” by Beethoven.  Each of the twenty-three preludes, processionals, and recessionals found in this compilation is arranged for both organ and piano.  The instrumental edition—sold separately—include s reproducible parts for B< trumpet, C solo instrument, and string quartet. They are compatible with both the piano and organ arrangements and with each other. A complete recording is also available. Affordable enough to purchase multiple copies, these demonstration CDs can be offered either on loan or as a gift to couples for use in their selection process.  This versatile collection is perfect for any church musician. Helpful background notes on each piece, the complete recording, and a variety of performance options make One in Love and Peace an essential resource for wedding planning.
