The piece is absolutely gorgeous and I don't mean to be rude at all but what's the compositional philosophy behind notating it without a key signature? Until m61 it sounds very pandiatonic to E major, maybe this is just the way I have learned to sing but for me personally as a signer the accidentals make it look more difficult than it would with a key signature and later key signature change
I could see this benefiting singers who didn't learn to read with a moveable "do." Instead of keeping a key or scale in mind, explicit accidentals make the intervals between notes very obvious.
Sadly its too late to ask the master himself. However I believe it has to do with the minnesota school of composition, which blurrs the line of tonality. (Extreme example: So how Schönberg woudn't notate a key signature neither would Paulus.) I know Paulus notates most of his pieces without a key signature, as that is, I believe, what is what is taught for this school of composition.
