The Melody (vocal) range of this piece is very large, this is patricianly because of the use of falsetto by Buckley, e.g. bar 55.
There is a dramatic neopolitan chord [the flattened supertonic- Eb major 1st inversion] in bar 95. Timbre The vocal part is for a tenor voice, with some sections requiring a quiet, whispered tone.
