Max Regers Auseinandersetzung mit der Musik Richard Wagners geht bis in seine frühe Jugend zurück. 1888 erlebte er in Bayreuth Aufführungen von Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg unter Hans Richter und Parsifal unter Felix Mottl. Bis an sein Lebensende blieb Wagner für Reger einer der größten Komponisten, häufig dirigierte er dessen Vorspiele in Konzerten. 1909 trat Regers Verleger mit Blick auf das kommende Wagnerjahr 1913 erstmals an den Komponisten heran und bat ihn, Orchesterstücke Wagners für Klavier einzurichten. Wegen verschiedener Verpflichtungen und gesundheitlicher Probleme konnte Reger die Bearbeitungen erst 1913 bzw. 1914 fertigstellen. Die Bearbeitungen wurden, bedingt durch die Besetzung mit zwei Klavieren, eher für den Konzertgebrauch konzipiert.

Shepherd's Song is heard in the prelude to the Finale, Act 3 of Wagner's great opera, Tristan & Isolde. It is a bleak and doleful lament played mostly unaccompanied by a shepherd boy keeping watch for Isolde's ship to arrive. The melody is later heard throughout scene 1.
Ralph Sauer, has done a beautiful job in arranging this music (originally played offstage on the English Horn) for Tenor Trombone.
It is about 2 1/2 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers.
