Piano (doubling Celesta) 2 Harps Strings (approximately 16/14/12/10/8 players)

duration circa 15 minutes Transposed Score Grace notes come before the beat; rolled chords start on the beat All tremolos should always be faster than the sixteenth notes Piano/Celesta should be located at the back of the orchestra with the percussion If two keyboard players are available, they might want to share the piano/celesta part, one playing piano and the other playing celesta As this work is quite loud and brassy in some places, it is advised that the maximum number of string players be used Two extra percussion players may be used as assistants as needed Unless otherwise specified, percussionists should use the most common beater or mallet

with admiration and gratitude to Christoph Eschenbach

*In the final measure play the last note–and its crescendo under the fermata–for about four beats’ duration (in other words, the fermata adds duration, as usual). Play the note as if you were in the middle of a phrase and about to go on to another note: a swell, as if in a longer phrase, part of a longer phrase – but, just before that other note enters the piece ends, hanging in mid-air. This kind of thinking will give the right flow and momentum to the sound – nothing forced in the music, but adding an element of surprise and grace to the final sounds.
