Volu me 11 of the “Songs and Choral Works” Series contains the Drei Chöre op. 6 (1892), Reger’s only original composition for a mixed vocal scoring and piano, in which he used his two-color method of notation for the first time (musical text in black, performance instructions in red). In addition, the volume contains the piano reductions of some of the choral-symphonic works which Reger composed between 1903 and 1914 – the Gesang der Verklärten op. 71, Psalm 100 op. 106, Nonnen op. 112, Einsiedler op. 144a and the Requiem op. 144b, and the Weihegesang WoO V/6 for alto, mixed choir and winds.

The vocal ouvre of Max Reger is quite comprehensive but only few of his more than 300 works have become firmly established in the concert repertoire.One song, however, was to become a real big seller: Maria Wiegenlied in which the composer had woven the old Christmas carol Joseph, lieber Joseph mein. Because of its huge success, Max Reger recommended to his publisher an instrumentation which he actually realized later: This gem for piano was turned into an atmospheric piece of pastoral music for voice and chamber orchestra.

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‘.”.
