Despite his short life, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of piano and chamber music. His major works include the art songs Erlkönig, Gretchen am Spinnrade, Ave Maria; the Trout Quintet, the unfinished Symphony No. 8 in B minor, the "Great" Symphony No. 9 in C major, the String Quartet No. 14 "Death and the Maiden", a String Quintet, the two sets of Impromptus for solo piano, the three last piano sonatas, the Fantasia in F minor for piano four hands, the opera Fierrabras, the incidental music to the play Rosamunde, and the song cycles Die schöne Müllerin, Winterreise and Schwanengesang.
Born in the Himmelpfortgrund suburb of Vienna, Schubert showed uncommon gifts for music from an early age. His father gave him his first violin lessons and his elder brother gave him piano lessons, but Schubert soon exceeded their abilities. In 1808, at the age of eleven, he became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt school, where he became acquainted with the orchestral music of Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. He left the Stadtkonvikt at the end of 1813 and returned home to live with his father, where he began studying to become a schoolteacher. Despite this, he continued his studies in composition with Antonio Salieri and still composed prolifically. In 1821, Schubert was admitted to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde as a performing member, which helped establish his name among the Viennese citizenry. He gave a concert of his works to critical acclaim in March 1828, the only time he did so in his career. He died eight months later at the age of 31, the cause officially attributed to typhoid fever, but believed by some historians to be syphilis.
Appreciation of Schubert's music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased greatly in the decades following his death. Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers in the history of Western classical music and his work continues to be admired and widely performed.

Schubert: Ave Maria
Franz Schubert Lyrics
Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild
Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen
Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild
Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen
Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind
O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen
O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!
Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Unbefleckt!
Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken
Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt
Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken
Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen
In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft
O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen
O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft! Ave Maria!
Ave Maria! Reine Magd!
Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen
Von deines Auges Huld verjagt
Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen
Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen
Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht
Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen
Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht ave Maria!
Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen
Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild
Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen
Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind
O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen
O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!
Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Unbefleckt!
Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt
Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken
Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen
In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft
O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen
O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft! Ave Maria!
Ave Maria! Reine Magd!
Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen
Von deines Auges Huld verjagt
Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen
Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen
Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht
Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen
Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht ave Maria!

Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen,
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind.

Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen,
Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht.

This song has many different meanings. It could either be the happiest song for the most memorable moment, or a song for one of the most depressing moments in your life. But in which ever way you may interpret it, it will always be a great song.
