The setting for Drowned Girl in the first productions of Baal was not by Weill because they occurred a few years before Brecht and Weill met. Weill did a setting of the poem for Das Berliner Requiem which was written shortly after Threepenny's premiere. I never heard of it being used in any production of Threepenny before. Das Berliner Requiem is a great piece and it ought to be better known.
