raymond, it is for voice (singular) and the part needs to be transposed down a major second. yeah i have cues for the entry and at the end of the longer multi-measure rests.

cheers,

I don¹t know what a transposed score for voices would be, unless they are talking about the Tenor part written an octave higher than sounding, but I will say that you do not need to Do a piano reduction for choir, really anytime in a larger ensemble. Just give them some cues To help them get their pitch, and you are good to go!

yeah they explicitly said they don't need the score, only a transposed part (i don't know where the transposed score is or if there in fact is one), and there is a fixed (small) budget that is just too small for me to do the entire score even if i wanted to.

 thanks!


In my experience, the singer reads from score, with the proviso that the vocal line is immediately above the piano line and that the other instruments on are reduced-size staves above the vocal line. (See, for example, the score of Pierrot Lunaire
 <https://imslp.org/wiki/Pierrot_Lunaire,_Op.21_(Schoenberg,_Arnold)>.)
