This
first part-volume
contains mixed choruses
composed by Reger between
1890 and 1902. It
includes functional music
for use in the Catholic
liturgy (Opus 61 and WoO
VI/12, 19) and the
Protestant liturgy (Opus
79f and WoO VI/17, which
provides chorale-based
four-part settings for a
complete church year).
Reger wrote both secular
folk song settings (WoO
VI/10, 11), as well as
sacred (WoO VI/13, 14).
His Drei Chore [Three
Choruses] op. 39, very
demanding both
compositionally and
tonally, were dedicated
to renowned choral
societies, almost
professional in standard.
Palmsonntagmorgen WoO
VI/18, written as a
commission, forms a
bridge to Reger's later
motets to a certain
extent. Since January
2008, the first
scholarly, critical
edition of the works of
Max Reger (RWA) is being
produced at the
Max-Reger-Institute,
Karlsruhe. Its design as
a hybrid edition breaks
new ground in the methods
of editorial
practice.
