The practice of putting of voice parts just above the strings has
become so standard that I wouldn't change it. It makes life easier for
the conductor if everything is where he or she is used to seeing it. A
narrator is normally treated like a vocal soloist, so the text should
be just above the chorus.

Well...it appears the consensus is text blocks.
I'll give that a try and see what happens.
Using lyrics wouldn't really work since the narration is over the
choir which is silent during this section.
Maybe I'm putting the narration somewhere I shouldn't. I'm planning
on putting it over the chorus. Should it there or somewhere else?
The score order is: Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Horn, Trpt., Piano, Choir
(2 staff), Violins, Viola, Cello, Bass.
This is arranger's order. Someone else have an idea? I've seen the
choir on top with the piano on bottom. I'm thinking of moving the
piano to the bottom with the choir above it.
Opinions?
Thanks,
Ralph
