For performance in the opera Louis Riel by Harry Somers and Mavor Moore, this music replaces that at the opening of Act 3 (up to measure 127).

The Curlew sign (see footnote at m. 14) when placed over a note or rest, indicates that the singer or instrumentalist must wait until the conductor indicates having reached the next barline. Thus the note or rest may be longer or shorter than its written value.

Harp harmonics sound an 8va higher than notated.
