 Albert Giraud
Albert Giraud (1860-1929) was a Belgian poet writing in the French language.
His published works include Pierrot lunaire: Rondels bergamasques (1884), a poem cycle based on the commedia dell'arte figure of Pierrot, and La Guirlande des Dieux (1910).
His chief claim to fame, though, was that the composer Arnold Schönberg set a German language version of selections from his Pierrot lunaire to innovative atonal music[?].

 CJO - Abstract - ?A Multicoloured Alphabet?: Rediscovering Albert Giraud?s Pierrot Lunaire
Albert Giraud’s cycle of fifty rondels bergamasques, Pierrot Lunaire (1884), famously became, in Otto Erich Hartleben’s German translation, the basis of Schoenberg’s Op.
The claim that Schoenberg’s selection and reorganization of the poems imposed logic and order on an otherwise jumbled collection is found to be belied by the striking narrative coherence of Giraud’s original sequence, which is unified by a clearly defined set of symbols.
Meanwhile, Hartleben’s putative ‘infidelity’ to Giraud is challenged by evidence both internal (his careful preservation of the rondel structure) and contextual (an esteem for his Belgian contemporary manifested in further poetic homages).

 Dispatx | Eminent Domain | Loony Tunes and Silent Moves
Two sections (each section comprises a separate video) use pre-composed music to explore the sentiments of the first and last poems in Giraud’s set whilst simultaneously referencing the texts of the first and last poems in the set that Schoenberg chose from Hartleben’s translations.
The fragility and confusion of male desire in the light of abstracted and falsified projections of the feminine has always been with us (especially at the start of the twentieth century) but is particularly striking in the world of the MTV generation.
The fragmentary and surrealist nature of Giraud’s poems is an excellent basis for a contemporary exploration of this subject because further fragmentation and narrative layering seem a natural extension of his original endeavour (and of Schoenberg’s).

 CD: Marsh: Albert Giraud's Pierrot Lunaire | | guardian.co.uk Arts
In his Pierrot Lunaire, Schoenberg set just 21 of the 50 "rondels bergamasques" that the Belgian Albert Giraud had published in his collection of the same name in 1884.
The poems inhabit a fantastical world, unified by the figure of Pierrot and other characters from the commedia dell'arte, but full of extraordinary imagery that would not be out of place in the work of the surrealists almost half a century later.
Perspectives constantly change; it's diverting and surprising, worlds away from Schoenberg's overpowering work yet still mysteriously close to the essence of Giraud's unique imagination.

 Amazon.com: Albert Giraud's Pierrot Lunaire (New Odyssey Series): Albert Giraud, Gregory C. Richter: Books
Giraud's work was translated into German by Otto Erich Hartleben, and twenty-one of those poems were used by Arnold Schoenberg in his masterpiece [Pierrot Lunaire] (1912)--one of the defining compositions of the twentieth century.
Although helpful in including the original French text by Giraud, the German translation by Hartleben (used by Schoenberg), and an English translation from the original, I found the latter translation by Gregory C. Richter disappointing and very poor: it lacks the spiraling insanity and verbal vigor I have read from other translations.
Richter, in his treatment to Pierrot, is either over-simplifying or over-complicating (by not paying attention to connotations, and the different degrees of effectiveness of words that share the same meaning) or doing both at the same time; it feels frustrating.

 Essay #297 for Kalvos & Damian's New Music Bazaar
It was Albert Kayenbergh, a minor poet whose best work, Blackmoor knew, was yet to come -- but only if he intervened.
Kayenbergh has adopted the pseudonym of Albert Giraud, has written a collection of 50 rondelles entitled "Pierrot Lunaire" -- or Parrots of the Moon -- and indeed has a hole in his head.
Schoenberg was captivated by Giraud's dark themes, which closely mirrored the color of his favorite trousers.

 A concert at New York City's Hunter College, reviewed by Maria Nockin
The work was commissioned by actress Albertine Zehme, who often recited poems to music and wanted a piece to use in Berlin.
Upon receiving the commission, Schoenberg wrote in his diary: 'A marvelous idea, quite right for me.' With Zehme in mind, he wrote it in an atonal style which requires the singer to use Sprechgesang, a style of speech-singing in which the indicated pitch is sounded but not held.
Deaton declaimed the text with dramatic fervor and he painted Giraud's word pictures with vivid emotional coloration while accompanist Fennelly deftly shaped the harmonies of the work.

Pierrot Lunaire was his Opus 21, so he assembled 21 poems, in three sets of seven, by the Belgian poet Albert Giraud about the lovesick clown Pierrot, the commedia dell'arte character in whiteface and loose, baggy white silks.
The complicated form of these poems is the rondeau -- 13 lines (one line short of a sonnet) in three stanzas.
In various recombinations they capture the icy, glistening-but-disjointed moonlit world of Giraud's creepy poems.

Melodrama on poems by Albert Giraud, for speaker and five instrumentalists
using the 'twelve-note system' that became known, to Schoenberg's annoyance, as 'atonality') the composer found a truly original voice in the unclassifiable Pierrot Lunaire, a monodrama without narrative, based on translations of 21 poems by the Belgian writer Albert Giraud.
Taking note of Debussy's free sense of form and attention to instrumental colour, Schoenberg wrote his very own Rite of Spring, a singular masterpiece which, however ground-breaking, stands alone as the beginning and end of a phase in his development.
