Reger´s cantata for Good Friday, based on the famous Passion hymn by Paul Gerhardt, was composed in 1904 and belongs to a group with four further choral cantatas – Reger´s independent and most comprehensive contribution to a key family of protestant church music. The Carus edition of these works is intended to make Reger´s choral cantatas accessible for musical practice and musicological reasearch for the first time in a modern critical edition. In order to encourage the spread of Reger´s choral works in the anglo-saxon countries, a singable English translation has been added.
