Mezzo-soprano voice (1)
Baritone voice (1)
B-flat clarinet (1)
Soprano saxophone (1)
Alto saxophone (2)

Bari saxophone (1)
Trumpet (1)
Horn (1)
Trombone (1)
Cello (1)
Piano (1)
Percussion (1) – (available instruments: all standard orchestral percussion, 5-octave marimba, vibraphone)
We would also like to feature the following ensembles – submissions for these forces are particularly encouraged:
