I believe the answer is:

ave maria

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'by schubert' is the definition.
(I know that Ave Maria lyrics by Franz Schubert)

'organising rave aim to include a' is the wordplay.
'organising' is an anagram indicator.
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'rave'+'aim'='raveaim'
'raveaim' is an anagram of 'avemria'.
'avemria' enclosing 'a' is 'AVE MARIA'.

'work' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
