Franz Peter Schubert (1797–1828) was an Austrian composer. In his short lifespan of less than 32 years, he was a prolific composer, writing some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. Appreciation of Schubert's music during his lifetime was limited, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death. Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn, among others, discovered and championed his works in the 19th century. Today, Schubert is seen as one of the leading exponents of the early Romantic era in music and he remains one of the most frequently performed composers.

It is impossible to say exactly how Schubert achieved the spiritual depth and the emotional profundity of his setting of Johann Jacobi's Am Tage aller Seelen (Litanei) (On All Soul's Day [Litany]) (D. 343) from August 1816. A single page of exquisitely wrought melody setting the three verses of Jacobi's poem as a strophic song, there is little about Am Tage aller Seelen which requires comment. The vocal melody is a seemingly effortless fusion of Italian bel canto and German innigkeit. The harmonies are for the most part simple but with a few suspensions and secondary dominants all articulated over smoothly moving arpeggiated triplets in the piano accompaniment. On paper, it looks like nothing special: but in performance Am Tage aller Seelen is one of the handful of the very greatest Schubert songs of quiet consolation and rapturous repose.

I transcribed this piece for Harp and Flute for the Sierra Vista United Methodist Church (SVUMC).
