Notes to Musical Director The fully orchestrated version of “ABE” mirrors this complete piano/vocal score measure for measure. However, the instrumental enhancements of the orchestrations are not reflected in these arrangements. The orchestrations provide a separate and specific piano/celesta part. In addition, tempo and metronome markings are the original suggestions of the composer, but some may be too slow for most performances.
