Some rhythmic freedom is afforded to the singer in order to fully express the text. The vocal part is well supported by the piano accompaniment, and the singer's pitches are generally easily obtainable from the piano part. This song is appropriate for virtually any standard of mezzo-soprano singer and pianist. The piece is suitable for performance in a wide variety of contexts.
