Misc. Notes *The organ part is most likely ad lib. since the Full Score does not even score for an organ and giving reinforcement to the orchestra. For the Harp part, it does not specifically say if there is just only 2 harps only "Harps", but basing it on other orchestral works like this, its probably assumed 2 harps were used by the composer in this piece.
