In August 1928 the "State Commission for the Folksong-Book for Youth," Berlin, invited Schoenberg to arrange (harmonize) three sixteenth-century popular German folk-songs according to his own dictates. Schoenberg became deeply absorbed in the work and created three miniature polyphonic masterpieces. In Los Angeles in 1948 he decided to compose three more of these choruses in the same style.
