Thanks for the photos - I was wondering how it would be scored!
The other obvious question is, what's the point of having 40 parts? There are only 12 notes available (from A to G#) and not all combinations thereof are harmonic... (I can answer this, but I bet other people have asked.)
Did the composer have a reason for doing something so difficult for the choir? Having singers encircle the audience is a good effect, but could be done with fewer parts.
