Description
During his short lifetime, Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composerwhose best known works were composed for organ. The ten chorale prelude s in this selection are from his set of Thirty Short Chorale Preludes (Op.135a), composed as short voluntaries for liturgical use - a fact Philip Sparke has kept in mind for this arrangement. Each prelude can be performed with minimal instrumentation for those occasions where a small band is needed; they also make great pieces for band warm-ups or studies inintonation, sound and balance.
