O Lamm Gottes unschüldig
am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,

About Das Agnus Dei, Op. 138, No. 6
Max Reger's setting of the Agnus Dei, Op. 138, No. 6, is a powerful and evocative motet for SATBB choir. Composed in German, it draws on the profound words of the Agnus Dei text, a central part of the Mass. The music opens with a sense of solemn reflection, the voices weaving together in rich harmony. The setting emphasizes the plea for mercy, “erbarm dich unser, o Jesu,” reflecting the suffering and sacrifice inherent in the text. Reger's masterful use of counterpoint and his rich harmonic language create a moving and deeply spiritual experience, making this motet a significant addition to the sacred choral repertoire.
