Franz SCHUBERT (1797–1828). Faith, Hope, and Love. For the consecration of the new bell at the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in the Alservorstadt on September 2, 1828, with text by Fried. Reil, and as a choral piece with accompaniment for piano or wind ensemble... [D.954]. (Vienna, available at the parish of the Friars Minor and Mr. Aloys Hauser, judge... and in the city at Tranquillo Mollo, [1828]); oblong folio, 5 pages and 1 folio page (foxing). First and very rare edition of this choral piece with instrumental accompaniment. Engraved title and music, without page numbers, bearing the dry stamp “Burg. Wiener Alser u. Währinger Grundgerichts-Sig[illum].” This choral piece for male voices—joined by female voices for the final measures—is accompanied by a wind ensemble, whose orchestral score, *Harmonie-Begleitung zum Chor*, is attached on a separate sheet to the score for chorus and pianoforte. Set to lyrics by Friedrich Reil, this choral piece was composed for the consecration ceremony of the new bell at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Alservorstatdt on September 2, 1828. This extremely rare private edition, sold for charitable purposes, bears the stamp exempting it from tax. It is one of Schubert’s last works (he died on November 19, 1828), the last performance of one of his works that he was able to attend, and the final edition of a Schubert work published during his lifetime.
