Browse piano sheets by Max Reger on Zen Virtual Piano. Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger (1873–1916) was a German composer, pianist, organist, conductor and academic teacher. He worked as a concert pianist, as musical director at the Leipzig University Church, as a professor at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig and as music director at the court of Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen. He was born in Brand in the Upper Palatinate and grew up in nearby Weiden, receiving musical instruction at an early age. After studies with the music theorist Hugo Riemann, he became extremely productive as both composer and performing pianist. In 1905 he was appointed lecturer at the Akademie der Tonkunst, but he resigned a year later over discrepancies with the predominantly conservative staff. Nachtlied (Night Song), Op. 138, No. 3, is a sacred motet for unaccompanied mixed choir. Its German text is a poem by Petrus Herbert beginning “Die Nacht ist kommen.” The piece is in B minor and scored for five voices, SATBB. Reger composed it in Meiningen in 1914, and it was published in 1916, after his death, as the third of Acht geistliche Gesänge.
