The composer has intentionally broken with tradition by using instrumental notation for the voical part. This notations gives, in her view, a greater ease of reading when the voice exchanges with the flute.
This version for flute, voice and piano is identical, as much as is possible, with the orchestral version, excpet for short segments in the 5th and 7th poems. These differences only affect the flute and piano parts and do not affect the vocal part. The Baritone may therefore use this score for performances with orchestra. The Flutist should use the part included in the orchestral parts for performances with orchestra.
