Reger: 8 Geistliche Gesänge, Op. 138 - Geistliche Gesänge, O

The first two of Three Motets of op. 110, all dedicated to the Thomanerchor, present a demanding challenge to choral singers. On the other hand, in the Acht Geistliche Gesänge op. 138, Reger shows his mastery of the straightforward setting – a masterly “new simplicity” – in which the composer spanned the bridge to his earlier choral works.
