4 Horns in F
3 Trumpets in Bb*
2 Tenor Trombones
Harp Celesta**
Solo Soprano Strings (12.10.7.7.5)
For performance in the opera Louis Riel by Harry Somers and Mavor Moore, this music replaces that at the opening of Act 3 (up to m.127)
The Curlew sign (see footnote at m.14) when placed over a note or rest, indicates that the singer or instrumentalist must wait until the conductor indicates having reached the next barline. Thus the note or rest may be longer or shorter than its written value.
*For concert performances where a third trumpet is not available, Clarinet 2 is to play the small-sized notes indicated in the score and part.
**For concert performances where a celesta is not available, the provided percussion part (1 player: vibraphone, orchestral bells/glockenspiel) may be substituted.
Harp harmonics sound an 8va higher than notated.
duration ca. 5 1/2 minutes
