Does anyone know whether Feldman's Christian Wolff in Cambridge uses a keyboard in the second part?
The score looks like it does (two treble clef lines, two bass clef lines and then one each of treble and bass clefs) but none of the lines are identified and there isn't a bracket around the bottom two clefs...
Can anyone help?
[edit to add the name of the piece and the composer]

Haven't seen the score in a while, so can't offhand remember what you're mentioning specifically, but it's most definitely a work for a cappella chorus from beginning to end. |

At the risk of inviting the wrath of Peters, I will scan the page in later. I personally cannot explain the bottom two systems (especially since the bass clef part goes down to F# below the stave). |

I'm beginning to wonder if the second page doesn't actually belong...
Stylistically it's different (there are bar lines, pause markings over the barlines, differentiation between semibreves and one dotted minim, the bottom two clefs have occasional notes with ties (implying laissez vibre) and there is a metronome mark above the last bar: crotchet = 66) and the page is dated 3/25/67.
So where does this second page come from?

Oh! It looks like it might be Chorus and Instruments 2 for SATB with tuba and tubular bells... Now I wonder if there is a first page in the library... Must look.

hh, the score for Christian Wolff in Cambridge is not exactly expensive. THe best price I found was $1.75, but of course, you have to add postage from over the Pond to that. |

Just double-checked it against a recording and discovered that Durham have bound the one and only page of Christian Wolff in Cambridge with the second page (of two) of Voices and Instruments II. Quite how they've managed that, and what has happened to the first page of Voices and Instruments II is anyone's guess (it's not in the catalogue...).
I'll inform the library and see what happens! Thanks to all for the advice.
If I manage to put together a choir of the quality that I'd need to sing it (actually the pitching isn't as tricky as I thought - I can manage it at least) then I will certainly put in an order for sufficient copies.
