Reger's unaccompanied setting Maria, Himmelsfreud (WoO VI/12) was probably composed at the end of 1899 to a commission from the Regensburg Cathedral music director Franz Xaver Engelhart for the collection Marienlob, which he edited. All four verses of the well-known text by Heinrich Bone were set by Reger here, in contrast to his setting of the same name from the Marienlieder op. 61d.
