Of the works presented in volume 6, the Four elegiac Songs op. 128 for solo voice and organ, with their arialike characteristics, are musically among the most demanding compositions. The Marian Hymns op. 171 display a variety of scorings for small ensembles, a trait which characterizes all the songs in this volume: This opus contains pieces for one, two or three voices. In addition, No. 1 (Ave Maria) appears in versions for either low- or high-registered voice. The appendix of this volume includes alternate versions for a few works in this volume, some of which are first editions, including Quam dilecta, which is a Latin version, with harp and organ, of the hymn Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen op. 35.

This second part-volume contains mixed choruses composed by Reger between 1904 and 1914. Most are sacred works, including the great motets op. 110 (Mein Odem ist schwach, Ach Herr, strafe mich nicht!, O Tod, wie bitter bist du), the Acht geistliche Gesange (Eight Sacred Songs) op. 138, and the fragmentary Vater unser. Functional liturgical music is represented with the Easter motet Lasset uns den Herren preisen, the Vier Kirchengesange (Four Church Songs) and the English-language Responsories. With the secular works, the Zwolf Chore aus dem Volksliederbuch (Twelve Choruses from the Volksliederbuch) form a substantial portion, flanked by Reger's setting of Good Night written for a school book, and the Abschiedslied for Fritz Stein.

In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA). As a Hybrid Edition it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.

For the first time, in this edition the digital component for this volume will no longer be supplied on a data storage device, but published in an online portal.
