Originally for voice and piano. Lyrics printed in score. "The piano parts in this edition are the same as Copland's originals for voice and piano, but often transposed to a key suitable to the featured solo instrument. The solo insturmental part is a transcription of the vocal line of the originals, idiomatically adapted and arranged for the solo instrument. Articulations, ornaments and slightly varied melodies in spots make the songs more characteristic of instrumental solos"--Page [4] of cover.
