The main source of the voice parts is the 1907 French-English vocal score or its revision. The present musical text comes from Oeuvres completes de Claude Debussy, Series VI, volume 2 ter.Vocal Score, Softcover One of the goals of the present edition is to narrow the gap between the full score and the piano reduction, in respect of the philosophy of the Oeuvres completes to offer the composer''s final version.
