Pierrot Lunaire
What can be created when classical music and contemporary art work together? A collaboration project between students from across the Royal College of Art and the Royal College of Music interrogated this question.
Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire composed in the 20th century is known for its atonal style which means it’s not in the traditional mix of keys that we associate with classical music of previous centuries. It consists of 3 parts with 7 poems each.
This work interprets Part 1, which is about a pierrot who is intoxicated by the moon and dreams of love or lust, with repeated images of blood and illness. These images were inspired by the poems that the music is based on. The music itself is very disorienting, chaotic, and appears paradoxical to the listener. This intense artwork is non-narrative and non-sequential to reflect the absurd and bizarre atmosphere of the music.
