Contenu

Vom Himmel hoch
Nun ruhen alle Wälder
Herr, nun laß in Friede
Mache dich mein Geist bereit
In dulci jubilo
Lobet den Herrn
Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten
Puer natus in Bethlehem
Nun lieget alles unter dir

Description :

Johanna Senfter (1879–1961) is one of the most interesting
composers of the late Romantic period. She studied piano and composition at the Frankfurt Conservatoire 1895–1903 and
thereafter in Leipzig with Max Reger 1908/9. Her most significant legacy is her organ music, which takes up the contrapuntal, highly chromatic composition techniques used by her teacher. These ten chorale preludes Op. 73 were written in 1930 and are suitable for concert or liturgical
performance.
