description: The Decision (Die Manahme) frequently translated as The Measures Taken is a Lehrstck and agitprop cantata by the twentieth-century German dramatist Bertolt Brecht. Created in collaboration with composer Hanns Eisler and director Slatan Dudow it consists of eight sections in prose and unrhymed free verse with six major songs. A note to the text by all three collaborators describes it as an attempt to use a didactic piece to make familiar an attitude of positive intervention.
