• Balance the instrumental parts so they enhance rather than overpower the vocal line; the text should always be intelligible.
• Consider the accompaniment texture in rehearsal to help singers lock in their pitching and entrances before adding full instrumental color.

Program this alongside other concert works that benefit from orchestral support, or use it as a centerpiece for a concert showcasing your ensemble's collaborative range. It sits comfortably in formal concert contexts where the added instrumentation enhances the occasion.
