Extra Information Théodore Reinach (1860-1928) transcribed the melody from the original Greek source (engraved on a stone) into modern notation; Fauré provided the accompaniment. Nectoux (in Gabriel Faure: A Musical Life) lists the instrumentation as "voice, harp, flute and two clarinets in B♭". Bornemann first published the work with that setting in 1894, as well as for voice and piano. Revised versions were published in 1914. Grove Music also mentions "hmn", which is their abbreviation for harmonium, but there is no evidence of a harmonium part; though for the first performance, Fauré is documented to have performed on harmonium. Graham Johnson corroborates the instrumentation of harp, flute and 2 clarinets, and the premiere date, in Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and Their Poets, page 252. Google Books link
