Ständchen (Schubert)
Franz Schubert composed a number of works known as "Ständchen" (serenade).
Lieder
Lieder named "Ständchen" or "Abendständchen" (evening serenade):
- "Abendständchen an Lina" ("Sei sanft wie ihre Seele"), D 265, for voice and piano, words by Gabriele von Baumberg[1]
- "Ständchen", D 889 ("Horch, horch! die Lerch im Ätherblau"), after Shakespeare's Cymbeline act 2, scene 3
- "Ständchen" ("Leise flehen meine Lieder"), words by Ludwig Rellstab, No. 4 of Schwanengesang, D 957. The title "Ständchen" for this song appears in Schubert's autograph.[2]
Part songs
Part songs published as "Ständchen" or "Nächtliches Ständchen" (serenade at night):
- "Leise, leise laßt uns singen, schlummre sanft", D 635, for TTBB, has the title "Quartetto" in the composer's autograph (manuscript MH 1864/c in Vienna City Library).[3] This autograph contains the text of a single stanza, of which the text author is unknown.[4] Eusebius Mandyczewski suggests Schubert may have been the text author.[5] Variant versions of the text, in multiple stanzas, originated posthumously. In 1900 the music was published as "Ständchen", with lyrics by Robert Graf.[4] Anton Weiß is the text author of another version.[6] Mandyczewski was the first to publish the song with its original text version (1906–1907).[7] Also known as "Ruhe", and "Nächtliches Ständchen".[4]
- "Ständchen" ("Zögernd leise, in des Dunkels nächt'ger Hülle"), D 920/921, for alto solo, TTBB or SSAA chorus and piano, words by Franz Grillparzer
