| Added by magataganm, 17 Mar 2023 Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger (1873 – 1916) was a German composer, pianist, organist, conductor, and academic teacher. He worked as a concert pianist, as a musical director at the Leipzig University Church, as a professor at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig, and as a music director at the court of Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen. Unser lieben Frauen Traum (Our dear Lady's dream, Our Lady's Vision) Op. 138, No. 4, is a sacred motet for unaccompanied mixed choir by Max Reger. The German text is a poem by an anonymous poet, derived from a Volkslied. The piece is in F major and scored for up to six voices, SSATBB. Composed in Meiningen in 1914, it was published in 1916 after Reger's death as the fourth of Acht geistliche Gesänge (Eight Sacred Songs). It is often performed in Advent. Reger composed the motets of Op. 138 in Meiningen in 1914, at the beginning of World War I, when he also worked on Requiem projects in Latin and German. Inspired by Bach's motets, he had composed "extended a cappella choral settings", such as Geistliche Gesänge, Op. 110, dedicated to the Thomanerchor, with challenging double fugues. In great contrast, he composed eight motets forming Acht geistliche Gesänge (Eight Sacred Songs), Op. 138, as a master of "new simplicity". He died before finishing to check the Korrekturbögen (proofs) from the publisher. Unser lieben Frauen Traum was published in 1916 as the fourth of Acht geistliche Gesänge (Eight Sacred Songs).
