"Primarily a composer of lieder and choral music, Reiter also wrote sacred works and chamber music, as well as a number of operas in a neo-Wagnerian style... [He] became a staunch supporter of the Nazis during the 1920s, and in 1931 dedicated his Goethe Symphony to Hitler. His loyalty was rewarded with revivals of [his operas] Der Bundschuh and Der Totentanz at the Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin in 1938. The same year Universal Edition reissued his Festgesang an einem Friedensfürsten under the new title of Festgesang an den Führer des deutschen Volkes in celebration of the Anschluss."
