2016 marks the first centenary of the death of Max Reger. In addition to his best-known field of creativity - organ music - his choral compositions form another major part of his oeuvre.This edition contains a selection of his sacred a cappella choral works. Their scoring, level of difficulty and length make them ideal for choirs who are wary of tackling the large-scale op. 110 motets. For the first time, the selection of works includes the previously unpublished 'Acht Grabgesänge? (1900). The pieces are arranged in chronological order, culminating in the well-known cycle of 'Acht geistliche Gesänge? op. 138 (1914).Contents- 'Tantum ergo Sacramentum? (1895)- 'Maria Himmelsfreud!? (1899-1900)- 'Acht Grabgesänge? (ca. 1900)- 'Acht Marienlieder? op. 61d (1901)- 'Sechs Trauergesänge? op. 61g (1901)- 'Palmsonntagmorgen? (1902)- 'Vier Kirchengesänge?
