ISBN 9790007261863.

This second part-volume contains mixed choruses composed by Reger between 1904 and 1914. Most are sacred works, including the great motets op. 110 (Mein Odem ist schwach, Ach Herr, strafe mich nicht!, O Tod, wie bitter bist du), the Acht geistliche Gesange (Eight Sacred Songs) op. 138, and the fragmentary Vater unser. Functional liturgical music is represented with the Easter motet Lasset uns den Herren preisen, the Vier Kirchengesange (Four Church Songs) and the English-language Responsories. With the secular works, the Zwolf Chore aus dem Volksliederbuch (Twelve Choruses from the Volksliederbuch) form a substantial portion, flanked by Reger's setting of Good Night written for a school book, and the Abschiedslied for Fritz Stein.

In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA). As a Hybrid Edition it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.

For the first time, in this edition the digital component for this volume will no longer be supplied on a data storage device, but published in an online portal.

This book belongs to our collection of single issues from the ten-volume Gesualdo edition, which presented the composers complete works for the first time in a text-critical and practical version (with German prose translations of the vocal texts and aids for the pronunciation of the Italian). The single editions offer the most beautiful madrigals and sacred choral works in the customary editorial quality at a reasonable price.Tristis est anima mea (My Soul Is Sorrowful) was drawn from the 27 Responsories for the Passion Week which were published in their entirety in Vol. 7 of the Complete Edition (DV 4777). The bold expressiveness and imaginative interpretation of the text are brought to bear with particular compellingness in this motet by the princely Renaissance composer. Tristis est anima mea was included in 1998 in the list of optional contest works of the Fifth German Choral Competition.
