Misc. Notes	This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project. This arrangement seems to be more than merely a vocal score of the original, since, according to Grove Music, there were originally 4 solo voices in addition to the male chorus, and there are no solo parts in this version. BTW Cavallo is better-known (see Wikipedia) for an arrangement of the ballad for piano duet (manuscript, 1869. Not chorus & duet, just duet. Again, see below for a Worldcat link containing a BSB link.)
