 The published score specifies flute (doubling piccolo), clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), alto saxophone, trumpet, percussion, and cello.Walton quotes a range of earlier composers in his score, from Rossini (the "William Tell" overture appears in the Swiss Jodelling Song) to George Grossmith (whose comic song, "See me dance the polka", is present throughout Walton's Polka).In the Sitwell-Walton "Façade" there are three poems, "Through Gilded Trellises," "A Man from a far Country" (from Sitwell's "The Sleeping Beauty)," and "Tarantella" (never formally published by Sitwell), that do not feature in her published edition of "Façade".
