Abstract
notes
In addition to the complete performance, a selection of individual songs may be assembled in any order, with the exception of #8, which must follow #7.
Passages marked “Free”, and “ad lib”, are to be sung individually without section synchronization creating a sound mass effect.. A single-numeral time signature indicates the approximate number of seconds in the measure.
Japanese is pronounced similar to Italian.
It is suggested the English translation be recited directly before each song.
