Transfigured Night

Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4, is a string sextet in one movement composed by Arnold Schoenberg in 1899. Composed in just three weeks, it is considered his earliest important work.

Schoenberg drew inspiration from Richard Dehmel’s poem of the same name, published in the collection Weib und Welt (1896; 'Woman and World'), which was in essence a psychological portrait.

The poem’s essence concerns acceptance and understanding. A couple is walking in the night. They are in love, but the woman is pregnant with the child of another man, not her present lover. She fears that her lover will condemn her and abandon her, yet the beauty of the evening and the intensity of their love overcome their difficulties. "Oh look," the man exclaims, "how the universe glitters!" and their lives are transfigured by the night.
