Ran was asked for a new work for Mimi Stillman's Dolce Suono Ensemble and their Mahler/Schoenberg 2012 concert series. Creating a piece that would be at once an homage and a companion piece to Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire was an intriguing challenge. Ran ultimately chose poems and excerpts that reference the moon in a riveting performance setting for flute (doubling piccolo), piano, cello, and soprano/narrator/actress. With English and Hebrew texts, Moon Songs consists of four "acts" with two entr-actes. Extensive program notes and performance notes are included. Ran advises, “Demanding as her sung part is, the singer…needs to be as much an actress as a singer.”
