Notes

Due to uncertainty around the number of players permitted at the time of performance, Dawn is designed to work with an orchestra of flexible size, and with the players placed around the hall in any way.

The minimum instrumentation is:
2223-2221-timp+3-cim*-pf-hp-str

Ideal instrumentation:
3333-4331-timp+3-cim*-hp-pf-str

It's permitted to have as many winds and brass as needed (except Tuba).

* Cimbalom can be substituted with an upright piano.
