"Wine, Women and Song" Op. 333, is a choral waltz in its original form, although it is seldom heard in this version today. It was commissioned for the Wiener Männergesang-Verein (Vienna Men's Choral Association) for their so-called Narrenabend (Fools' Evening) on 2 February 1869 with a dedication to the Association's honorary chorus-master Johann Herbeck. The title was drawn from an old adage (from Martin Luther according to legend): Wer nicht liebt Wein, Weib, Gesang, der bleibt ein Narr sein Leben lang (Who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long).
