Picturesque Organ Music by the Prolific Composer Lani Smith

Lani Smith creates picturesque organ music that was published in "The Organist" magazine in 1978. The title is "A Galilean Hillside".
From the Lorenz site:
"Smith was one of the most prolific classical composers in music history, with more than 4,000 published compositions, written over sixty years as a professional composer. For Lorenz, he worked in every musical genre, including choral anthems, cantatas, children's musicals, instrumental pieces, piano/organ duos, and organ and piano solos. His stylistic versatility was displayed in compositions that ranged from the late 1970s Easter rock opera Jubilation! to significant concert organ pieces that formed the initial repertoire of The Sacred Organ Journal. While active in all areas, he had a particular gift for organ music, and his output of several thousand pieces makes him the most prolific composer for the instrument in the history of keyboard literature, surpassing even the baroque masters. Smith's music was a beloved mainstay of Lorenz's signature organ magazines, and his work appeared in every issue of every magazine from the late 1960s onward.
Because of his large body of work, Smith published compositions under numerous pen names, including Edward Broughton, David Paxton, Franklin Ritter, Tom Birchwood, Gerald Peterson, and Christopher Gale."
