An die Musik is an art song by Franz Schubert in the key of D major. It is a paean to the art of music and one of Schubert's best-known songs. He composed it in March 1817 for solo voice and piano, based on a poem by his friend Franz von Schober, which was written during the same period. The composition is listed as D 547 in the Deutsch catalogue.

Lyric:

O blessed art, how often in dark hours,
When the savage ring of life tightens round me,

Have you kindled warm love in my heart,
Have transported me to a better world!
Transported to a better world

Often a sigh has escaped from your harp,
A sweet, sacred harmony of yours

Has opened up the heavens to better times for me,
O blessed art, I thank you for that!
O blessed art, I thank you!

The flower was filmed last autumn by Simone Schlegel and the video was edited by Wenjing Ma.
