Reger-Werkausgabe, Vol. II/9: Works for mixed voice unaccompanied choir II (1904–1914) by Max Reger A Cappella - Sheet Music

SKU: CA.5281600

ISBN 9783899484182. 10 x 12 inches.

This second part-volume contains mixed choruses composed by Reger between 1904 and 1914. Most are sacred works, including the great motets op. 110 ("Mein Odem ist schwach", "Ach Herr, strafe mich nicht!", "O Tod, wie bitter bist du"), the Acht geistliche Gesange (Eight Sacred Songs) op. 138, and the fragmentary Vater unser. Functional liturgical music is represented with the Easter motet Lasset uns den Herren preisen, the "Vier Kirchengesange" (Four Church Songs) and the English-language "Responsories". With the secular works, the "Zwolf Chore aus dem Volksliederbuch" (Twelve Choruses from the Volksliederbuch) form a substantial portion, flanked by Reger's setting of "Good Night" written for a school book, and the "Abschiedslied for Fritz Stein".

In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA). As a Hybrid Edition it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.

For the first time, in this edition the digital component for this volume will no longer be supplied on a data storage device, but published in an online portal.
