Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0486278859, Paperback)

Inspired by a poem of Richard Dehmel, the 1899 work Verklärte Nacht, is a tone poem for string sextet composed in the late-Romantic tradition. Pierrot Lunaire, composed in 1912, is a musical setting for speaker and chamber ensemble of 21 poems by Albert Giraud, incorporating Schoenberg's revolutionary theory of atonality and singing-speech delivery called "Sprechstimme."
