Description
Volume 10 of the "Songs and choral Works" module contains all of Reger's compositions for a cappella male-voice and female-voice choir and (with piano accompaniment) children's choir. By far the largest number are for male-voice choir. After some initial hesitation, Reger tried his hand at arranging folk song for male voices before going on to create substantial original compositions with the collections opus 38 and, above all, opus 83, which includes a version of the so-called "Hebbel Requiem".
The works for female voices are composed in three to five parts. The three movements for one or two-part children's choir are the only pieces to feature piano accompaniment. Even if the compositions for female voices and especially children's choir can rather be categorized as ‘occasional works', they are well worth discovering.
