Erhab'ne Mutter unser's Herrn, Op. 61d,3 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Erhab'ne Mutter unser's Herrn,
du Himmelspforte, Morgenstern,
hilf deinem schwachen Volk, das fiel
und von dem Fall aufstehen will.
Du hast geboren wunderbar
den, der dein heil'ger Schöpfer war;

About Erhab'ne Mutter unser's Herrn, Op. 61d,3
Choristers might turn to this moving setting of German devotional text for occasions of penitence and seeking grace. Max Reger’s Op. 61d,3 is a sacred SATB setting, likely intended for church or spiritual gatherings. The lyrics implore the Virgin Mary, 'Exalted Mother of our Lord', as a heavenly gate and morning star, to aid her fallen people in rising again. They acknowledge her miraculous conception and her pure virginity, and recall the Annunciation by Gabriel. The choir is asked to pray for God’s favour to atone for all sin.
