List of compositions by Max Reger
was a German composer of the late-Romantic period. His works are initially listed by Opus number, followed by works without Op. number. Other features shown are translation of titles, key, scoring, year of composition, genre, information about texts and their authors, a link to the Max-Reger-Institute, which provides detailed information about times of composition, performance and publishing, and a link to the free score when available.
History
Reger was a German composer, born in Brand in 1873. He studied music theory in Sondershausen, then piano and theory, in Wiesbaden. The first compositions to which he assigned opus numbers were chamber music and Lieder. A pianist himself, he composed works for both piano and organ.Reger returned to his parental home in 1898, where he composed his first work for choir and orchestra, Hymne an den Gesang, Op. 21. He moved to Munich in 1901. In 1907 he was appointed musical director at the Leipzig University and professor at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig.
In 1911 Reger was appointed Hofkapellmeister at the court of Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen, retaining his master class at the Leipzig conservatory. In 1913 he composed four tone poems on paintings by Arnold Böcklin, including Die Toteninsel, as his Op. 128. He gave up the court position in 1914 for health reasons. In response to World War I, he thought in 1914 already to compose a choral work to commemorate the fallen of the war. He began to set the Latin Requiem but abandoned the work as a fragment. In 1915 he moved to Jena, still teaching in Leipzig. He composed in Jena the Hebbel Requiem for soloist, choir and orchestra. Reger died in Leipzig on 11 May 1916.
Reger assigned opus numbers to major works himself. In his compositions for solo voices and for choirs, he set poems by notable lyricists, including contemporaries, such as Gabriele D'Annunzio, Otto Julius Bierbaum, Joseph von Eichendorff, Friedrich Hebbel, Detlev von Liliencron and Friedrich Rückert.
Table of compositions
Reger's works with an opus number are listed first, then works designated as WoO. Details to compositions follow, such as song titles and names of poets for a collection of songs. The scoring is given if it cannot be recognized from the title or the genre: for example songs are normally for voice and piano, in a sonata the named solo instrument is usually accompanied by piano, and choral works are for four-part choir a cappella, unless otherwise noted.When the opus number provides a link, it leads to more details about a work, such as the titles, markings and keys of its parts. The last column provides two link for reference, when available: one to the detailed information on the piece by the Max-Reger-Institute, which appears as "MR" and the number on the website, the other to a free score.
