Part 4: C - bass clef, Bb, F (bassoon, great bass recorder, tenor saxophone, horn in F, 'cello)
Any other appropriate instruments, even if not suggested above, may play.
Although the score is presented with layout appropriate for string quartet this does not indicate a preferred instrumentation.
Examples of the 'clicks/taps etc.' indicated by the X noteheads at the beginning of the piece in Part 2, and subsequently in the other parts, include:
Woodwind - instrument key clicks or slaps,
Brass - tapping the instrument bell with fingernail, 'popping' the mouthpiece,
Strings - tapping the body of the instrument with fingers.
In this arrangement the song has been transposed from the original key of E major to C major.
