Navigation etc.

The cover page has "With Chorus (ad libitum)", but there is no text.

(Unfortunately no tag for "wordless chorus", and vocalises tag can't be used since the composer did not-and our rules start with "what did the composer or publisher call it" and get more restrictive from there)
It might have been some song text that was so well known that the chorus knew it. A melody search would be one way to determine whether there were pre-existing words. This will be left without a language tag for now. Edit: one of the uses for tags is - imho? - to inform would-be (impresarios?)- who they'll need to hire to put a work together; and the requirements for a wordless chorus are the same as those for a chorus, so far as bodies are concerned (though not exactly in other respects, e.g. permissions for the wordless librettist :D ). So there may be limited use for a "wordless chorus" tag after all... - ES
