Instruments: Flute (also Piccolo and Alto Flute) Clarinet in B (also Bass Clarinet in B and Ratchet) Bassoon (also Contrabassoon and Analogue Radio) Trumpet in C (also Flugelhorn in B and Maracas) Trombone (also Rainstick) Percussion (1 player): Crotales (2 octaves), Steel Drum (2 octaves D–D), Claves, Guiro, Sizzle Cymbal, Large Suspended Cymbal, Large Tam-tam, Lion‘s Roar, Whip, Bass Drum, Analogue Radio Piano (also Analogue Radio) 4 Violas (4th Viola also Violin) Double bass (also Rainstick)

Daration: 95 min

Notes: Senza misura bars: The rhythms for the singers should resemble natural speech patterns. Four different note-lengths are used (from short to long) but these are only a guide. In some sections, such as scenes I and VII, the singers have to cue their entries from each other. This is indicated by arrows. As the voices pass from one to another there should be great flexibility and fluidity. When the music moves faster, voices should overlap and collide. In scene 7 there are moments when two singers are cued simultaneously. In this situation, do not attempt to be in time with each other. Time signatures: In scene I there are time signatures of 1/3 and 2/3. These indicate the division of the beat into one or two triplet minims in the bar.
