Max Reger, the creator of forbiddingly difficult organ music, could also take a different tack. His Thirty Little Chorale Preludes are intended for semiprofessional organists always on the lookout for good organ chorales for use in Sunday church services. Reger selected the best-known tunes of his day from the Lutheran hymnal. Most of them are still in use today and form excellent additions to modern services. Michael Kube, in a detailed preface, draws a vivid picture of the composer and his superhuman creative powers.

  • June 17, 2019 Practical, but uninspiring

    The settings are the sort of easy-to-sight-read, practical music that every organist should have on hand to fill in gaps during services. I didn't find them particularly inspiring, and I thought the treatments of the chorales were for the most part repetitious and formulaic. I can...

    't imagine actually planning in advance to play one of these at Mass or Vespers.

  • April 22, 2012 A Delightful Volume

    Anyone who admires G. Henle usually admires the editions because of their pristine and concise typeset and musicology. These works are a delight to play and read. I would recommend this to anyone who is pursuing a high aesthetic in music.

  • March 29, 2007 An organist's "must have"

    I honestly don't know how I have managed to get along for so many years without this collection. It consists of commonly-used chorales that Reger set in a very playable and almost sight-readable style, but are still quite sophisticated and Reger-esque.
