about

Pierrot is after Cassander once again. The moon picks on Pierrot, so he in turn aggravates and toys with Cassander.

Conductor Jordan Randall Smith conducts Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire. Smith leads Ars Nova Dallas at the 2009 Dallas Festival of Modern Music.

lyrics

Mit groteskem Riesenbogen With a grotesque giant bow
Kratzt Pierrot auf seiner Bratsche. Scrapes Pierrot on his viola,
Wie der Storch auf einem Beine Like a stork on one leg,
Knipst er trüb ein Pizzicato. He snaps forlornly a pizzicato.

Plötzlich naht Cassander, wütend Suddenly comes Cassander – furious
Ob des nächtigen Virtuosen. About the nighttime virtuoso
Mit groteskem Riesenbogen With a grotesque giant bow

Kratzt Pierrot auf seiner Bratsche. Scrapes Pierrot on his viola.
Von sich wirft er jetzt die Bratsche: Hence he tosses presently the viola:
Mit der delikaten Linken With a delicate left hand
Fasst er den Kahlkopf am Kragen – He seizes the baldy by the collar –
Träumend spielt er auf der Glatze Dreamily he plays on the shiny dome
Mit groteskem Riesenbogen. With a grotesque giant bow.
