The fourth volume of the section of the Reger Edition devoted to his organ works comprises, in chronological order, the chorale preludes composed between October 1893 and November 1914 in Wiesbaden, Weiden, Munich, Leipzig, and Meiningen. The composition of chorale preludes accompanied Reger throughout his entire career, even though they were composed primarily in the years from 1900 to 1902 and 1914 (Opus 135a). As almost no other composer at the turn of the century, he dedicated himself to the chorale prelude, composing around 100 works in this genre. 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. It comprises three areas of Reger's compositional output: Organ works, Lieder and choruses and, for the first time, Max Reger's arrangements of works by other composers. To begin the series, the first seven volumes have been published and contain the organ works, which have been eagerly awaited by many.

An indispensable collection for professional and non-professional church musicians! After the successful first volume of chorale preludes on the seasonal hymns from Advent to Whitsun, published on the anniversary of the new lectionary of the Evangelical Church in Germany, Volume 2 now follows with preludes on the hymns from Trinity to the end of the church year. With this two-volume edition, editor Ingo Bredenbach has created an indispensable collection with chorale preludes for the two seasonal hymns for all Sundays and the most important feast days. The volumes provide organists with a complete, innovative and varied selection of chorale preludes. Over a third of the c. 160 chorale preludes have been newly composed, and the others have been chosen partly from little-known collections from the 18th to the 20th century. Many hymns were considered for which there have been no chorale preludes to date, or none which are suitable. With all the arrangements, there is an option for shortening the piece to provide a suitable intonation. The difficulty level of the pieces is structured so that non-professional organists can learn the works within a week, whilst professional church musicians can play from this new collection with less time needed. Thanks to the variety of styles included, the collection can also be used in organ teaching. Both the volumes contain indices, including one to enable the use of the preludes with other hymns in the Evangelisches Gesangbuch.

The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach's unfinished manuscript known as 'Orgelbüchlein'. In the 'Little Organ Book', Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale preludes, 164 in all, but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages, with only a title at the head, remains a mystery, but they inspried organists William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project, in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection.The resulting collection, to be published in six volumes, represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today across Europe.More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.comList of Composers

The third Little Organ Book establishes thematic accents (Praise and Thanks - Trust and Prayer). We called upon the leading names of contemporary organ music such as Jurg Baur, Karl Holler, Jean Langlais, Hermann Schroeder and Wolfgang Stockmeier to arrange a selection of well-known hymns from the Catholic and Evangelical hymn books. As in the two volumes (Passion - Easter - Pentecost and Advent - Christmas) the Little Marienstatt Organ Book offers a Chorale prelude as well as a polyphonic organ setting of the respective church hymn, which are almost all firnt publications.Choral preludes and organ settings by various authors.
