Notes:

The song “An das Meer” (in English: ‘At Sea’), Op. 83, No. 1, was composed by Max Reger as an ‘a capella’ song for an eight-part male voice choir (TTTTBBBB) probably in 1903, and first published the following year.

The work Opus 83 in its entirety was composed between 1903 and 1912 and consists of ten works for male choir a capella. The works have in common that complex harmonies can be found in each of them. Some pieces are more or less a study of developments in the history of chorale harmonisations from the Baroque, but also romantic ‘salon music’ and impressionist elements can be found. There is great variation in dynamic expression.

Reger had already written a number of works for male choir that appeared as folk songs in several lieder collections between 1898 and 1900. To make these demanding pieces sound as light and graceful as Reger intended them to be, an excellent choir is required. With the preparation for EIGHT cellos likewise, this is intended for more experienced players, for although technically only moderately difficult the chamber music balancing and understanding of the harmonic movements are important. This music is also well possible with a larger cello orchestra, though the presence of a conductor becomes more necessary.
