Originally scored for mezzo-soprano, baritone, and chamber orchestra, Earth Echoes may be performed as a double concerto with instrumental soloists. The composer explicitly permits alto and tenor saxophones to replace the two voices. An alternate pairing uses alto flute and tenor saxophone.

The fourth movement, petal waterfall, may be performed separately and lasts approximately 5 minutes 20 seconds. The linked audio presents that movement only.
