Abstract"Erbe served as organist to Moravian churches in Germany. In 1889, he immigrated to the United States and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. As there was no Moravian Church in the vicinity, he served as an oranist for various churches in the German Evangelical Synod of North America. He continued composing and also taught private piano and string lessons as well as serving as a bookkeeper for Eden Publishing House. His music is neither trite nor difficult but accessible to amateurs and professionals alike."
