<p>I had to invent two small bits of musical notation. When the voice has a dotted whole note, that means to hold through the next measure with the lyrics there sung by someone else. Possibly by the audience. <em>Mostly</em> the song calls for a single singer just not those echoes. Also, the C<sup>1.3</sup> chord means just the major third (C and E) with neither A nor G. Its the intersection of A Minor and C Major and is therefore ambiguous as to what its a part of.</p>
<p>Placing this song in the arc may be tricky. Its a little dark for morning, but the light in it is clearly the light of morning and not the light of the day before. The cello parts that keep trying to turn the melody into major chords seem to help keep it lighter, though.</p>

<p>This song is available in the original a-minor/c-major or in e-minor/g-major for lower voices (see the -drop sheet music). This required raising the cello an octave to avoid falling of the bottom of the instrument.</p>
