"Class of 1915" was written in celebration of the dual centenaries of Reed College and Arnold Schoenberg's celebrated work, "Pierrot Lunaire." Though the work shares the same instrumentation, which has become popular among new music ensembles, Schiff's work is a celebration of popular song and dance styles from the mid-1910?s arranged in a suite that makes an ideal curtain-raiser for "Pierrot" concerts.
Instrumentation
"Pierrot" Ensemble: Flute(dPicc), Clarinet(dBCl), Violin, Cello, Piano
Commission

Program Notes
David Schiff’s Class of 1915 is written for Pierrot Ensemble instrumentation (Flute/Piccolo, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet, Violin, Cello, Piano) in celebration of the dual centenaries of Reed College and Pierrot Lunaire, marked with a performance by Chamber Music Northwest on Feb. 10, 2012. Though the work shares the same instrumentation as Arnold Schoenberg’s famous piece which gave rise to the popularity of this ensemble configuration, the similarities fairly well end there. Mr. Schiff reworks the popular song and dance styles from the mid-1910?s into a suite which pays tribute to the influence of black composers of the day, including James Reese Europe, W.C. Handy, C. Luckyeth Roberts, Shelton Brooks, Chirs Smith and Will Vodery. Class of 1915 is an ideal opener/ closer for Pierrot programs.
