A devout Catholic and former Vienna Boys Choir singer, he composed six Latin settings of the Mass as well as settings of the Salve Regina, Tantum Ergo., and numerous other works. Schubert's Antiphons for Palm Sunday., Opus 113, are a set of four easy liturgical motets for a cappella .choir. A singable English translation is provided with the original Latin.
