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 For the first time, the selection of works includes the previously unpublished Acht Grabgesange (1900). The pieces are arranged in chronological order, culminating in the well-known cycle of Acht geistliche Gesange op. 138 (1914).
