Notes:

1) Théodore Reinach (1860-1928) transcribed the melody from the original Greek source (engraved on a stone) into modern notation; Fauré provided the accompaniment.
2) There is also a notation for "chœur" on page 4, though Grove Music doesn't mention a choir in any of the versions.
3) Grove Music also mentions "hmn", which is their abbreviation for harmonium, but there is no evidence of a harmonium part.

Graham Johnson also gives the instrumentation as harp, flute and 2 clarinets in his Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and Their Poets, page 252. Google Books link (which also gives premiere date.) Eric 01:28, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
