  • According to a WorldCat entry, a manuscript copy of the full score is at UC Berkeley. There obviously will be solo voices involved, and probably an orchestra that involves winds/brass/percussion, but there is no way of knowing whether there is a chorus unless the UC Berkeley score can be examined. Accordingly, the instrumentation is tagged as undetermined.
