Volume 6 of the series “Songs and Choral Works” features Max Reger’s works for solo voice and orchestra written between 1912 and 1915. In addition to the only two original compositions – An die Hoffnung, Op. 124, after a poem by Friedrich Hölderlin and Hymnus der Liebe, Op. 136, based on an excerpt from the epic Vom Geschlecht der Promethiden by Ludwig Jacobowski – this volume includes all of Reger’s versions of his most successful songs such as Des Kindes Gebet, Op. 76 (No. 22), Glückes genug, Op. 37 (No. 3), Das Dorf, Op. 97 (No. 1), Aeolsharfe, Op. 75 (No. 11), and Mariä Wiegenlied, Op. 76 (No. 52).In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA), supported by the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature. As a Hybrid Edition, it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques. The digital component for this volume will be published in an online portal.Contenta.

Max Reger’s setting of Psalm 100 is one of the “grand style” choral-symphonic works of the classical modern repertoire. Contrapuntal skill in the tradition of Bach combines with overwhelmingly powerful expressiveness, rich in contrasts. The full harmonic and stylistic breadth of the early 20th century sings out, not only in frenetic song, but also in the search for awareness in quieter passages. Reger’s opulence, tonal and contrapuntal almost throughout, finally culminates in a double fugue with an off-stage orchestra similar to the trumpets of Jericho over “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott”. The composer’s declared aim was: “The psalm must go so brilliantly, that all will be simply ’bowled over‘.”.

The rediscovery of the original manuscripts of Max Reger's works for violin, viola and violoncello op. 131a-d in the Prague Conservatory Library represents a small sensation.These late works for solo strings dating from 1914 and 1915, the last of which appeared only posthumously, were previously known only from their first prints. The three duosop. 131b for two violins were composed within a few days, shortly after Easter 1914; it is particularly in this case that access to Reger's autograph is of great value in terms ofproviding insight into the genesis of the works.

SATB chorus a cappella - Level 4

SKU: CA.5292000

Composed by Max Reger. Edited by Alexander Becker, Christopher Grafschmidt, Stefan Konig, and Stefanie Steiner-Grage. Carus digital: Extra digital products. Octavo. Composed 1899. WoO VI/12. Duration 2 minutes. Carus Verlag #5292000. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5292000).

ISBN 9790007296018. German. Text: Bone, Heinrich.

Reger's unaccompanied setting Maria, Himmelsfreud (WoO VI/12) was probably composed at the end of 1899 to a commission from the Regensburg Cathedral music director Franz Xaver Engelhart for the collection Marienlob, which he edited. All four verses of the well-known text by Heinrich Bone were set by Reger here, in contrast to his setting of the same name from the Marienlieder op. 61d.

SSATB chorus a cappella - Level 4

SKU: CA.5292500

Composed by Max Reger. Edited by Alexander Becker, Christopher Grafschmidt, Stefan Konig, and Stefanie Steiner-Grage. Carus digital: Extra digital products. Full Score. Composed 1902. WoO VI/18. Duration 5 minutes. Carus Verlag #5292500. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5292500).

ISBN 9790007296032. Key: A major. German. Text: Geibel, Emanuel.

Reger composed Palmsonntagmorgen (WoO VI/18) at the beginning of 1902 at the request of the Chemnitz organist and choral director Georg Stolz. Stolz may also have suggested the text by Emanuel Geibel. The division of the text into sections, and the imitative and chordal passages in the five-part unaccompanied setting already point towards Reger's later motets.
