Each sonority should flow into the next, subtly dovetailing.

Durations are given in seconds, and are approximate, relative, and variable at the director's discretion.

Dynamics are always soft, delicate, and erring on imperceptible.

If only smaller forces are available, reducing and combining parts is absolutely permissible and should be a relatively simple task.
