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 For the first time, the selection of works includes the previously unpublished Acht Grabgesnge (1900).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

The Editor
Michael Chizzali has been a scholarly assistant at the Institute of Musicology in Weimar-Jena (Germany) since 2014. His dissertation on Regers contemporary, the Tyrolean composer Josef Gasser (1873-1957), was published in Innsbruck in 2014.
