Song in C major: "Trinklied (beim Abschied zu singen)"; "Erhebt das Glas mit froher Hand" (c. 1787)

Biamonti 13, WoO 109

A charming pubtune fully in volkstumliche style. This four-square folk style would eventually lead to Ode to Joy theme of the Ninth Symphony, placing it solidly in the Trinklied camp. A chorus enters at the end of each verse to give a rousing ovation to the tenor's admonition.
