Ständchen (Schubert)

Franz Schubert composed a number of works known as "Ständchen" (serenade).

Lieder named "Ständchen" or "Abendständchen" (evening serenade).

Part songs

Part songs published as "Ständchen" or "Nächtliches Ständchen" (serenade at night).

D 635

"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]
