Background: This third volume of the Naxos Robert Craft Schoenberg Collection features music written over a period of forty years. The Six A Cappella Mixed Choruses, miniature polyphonic masterpieces, are popular sixteenth-century German folk-songs harmonized by Schoenberg according to his own dictates.

The String Quartet No.2, heard on this recording in its original form with the two concluding vocal movements, is an enthralling combination of voice and quartet. His first American composition, the Suite for Strings in G, was written 'in the old style' as a piece for young students, but its technical difficulty has led to it remaining practically unknown.
