Schoenberg work heard at the concert was Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21 (1912). This piece had three movements with seven sections in each. All of the movements were sung in German accompanied by the piano, cello, violin/viola, clarinet/bass clarinet, flute/piccolo, and led by the conductor.

The timpani and trombone mimic the powerful, resonating sound of the thunder in the storm

Milhaud created his own style where he has added in the ballets L’Homme et son Desir (1918), Le Boeuf sur le toit (1919), and La Creation du monde (1923). He also composed incidental music for Claudel’s Protee (1920) and for Claudel’s tragedies Agamemnon (1913), Choephores (1915), and Les Eumenides (1917-22).

Even though the “The Elf King” by Franz Schubert and “The Moonspot” from Moonstruck Pierrot by Arnold Schoenberg sound extremely different, there are many connections between the pieces.
