The vocal score does not mention a single-string version of this, so for the moment it is tagged as orchestral. If a full score indicates otherwise, a tag can be added.
The Hans Gàl Society website indicates that the string section can be for string quartet, though still, do we have a tag for "alto, women's chorus, clarinet, horn, harp (or piano) and string quartet"? - ELS
