Franz Schubert composed a number of works known as Ständchen, meaning serenade.

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

Part songs

Part songs known as "Ständchen" or "Nächtliches Ständchen" (serenade at night):

  • "Leise, leise laßt uns singen, schlummre sanft", D 635, also known as "Ruhe", or "Nächtliches Ständchen".[2]

    This work is for TTBB, having 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.[2] Eusebius Mandyczewski suggests Schubert may have been the text author.[4] Variant versions of the text, in multiple stanzas, originated posthumously.

    In 1900 the music was published as "Ständchen", with lyrics by Robert Graf.[2] Anton Weiß is the text author of another version.[5] Mandyczewski was the first to publish the song with its original text version (1906–1907).[6]

  • "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
