	Pierrot Lunaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierrot Lunaire ("Moonstruck Pierrot" or "Pierrot in the moonlight") is an important song cycle of Arnold Schoenberg, a setting to music of Albert Giraud's work of French poems of the same name (translated into German by Otto Erich Hartleben).
		Pierrot, as it is also known, has a characteristic ensemble, afterwards known as the "Pierrot ensemble", consisting of flute (doubling on a piccolo), clarinet (doubling on bass clarinet), violin (doubling on viola), cello, and piano.
		Pierrot is both hero and fool, acting in a drama that is also a concert piece, performing cabaret as high art and vice versa, and doing it with song that is also speech.
