Franz Schubert - Der Geistertanz IV (Ghost Dance IV) D.494 

Franz Schubert, Der Geistertanz IV ("Die bretterne Kammer"), for male chorus, D. 494 (1816)
Capella Bavariae performs.
This is Schubert's fourth and final setting of Friedrich von Matthisson's Der Geistertanz (Ghost Dance) (D. 494). He had already set it twice in 1812 and once in 1814 as songs for solo voice and piano. This 1816 version differs from all of them in being set for unaccompanied male chorus as a part song. It also differs from them in being set in bar form, that is, two strophes with the same music followed by a third strophe to contrasting music. In the case of Der Geistertanz, the first two strophes are in spooky C minor, while the third verse is in more consoling A flat major. Unusually, the song ends in A flat major, that is, away from the tonic. However, unity is maintained by Schubert's near-incessant use of his favorite dactylic rhythm throughout the song
