Let me share Audrey's response to the following question: --"Wouldn't a piece that has well developed ideas usually contain voice?"
She helps us see the interactions and differences clearly:
I started wondering about this very same question as I was scoring "The Note".
My first thinking was that a piece with voice = 4 or 5 would also have a high score for ideas. Topic focus and selection of relevant, compelling, personal (experiential) details are shared by both voice and ideas.
But #1: Would it be possible to have a piece of writing where the author is very engaging and personal (Voice 4 or 5) but the ideas are just a string of wonderings grouped together, a broad range of topics (Ideas 3 or 2)?
But #2: Would it be possible to have a piece of writing where the the topic is narrow; the writer speaks from experience, giving quality details; and the reader's questions are anticipated and answered, (Ideas 4 or 5) yet the writing is sincere but impersonal and lacking risk (Voice 3)?
Perhaps a high score for Voice or Ideas would mean at least a 3 or 4 for the other trait of this pair?
What do you think?
Are there any examples you can think of?
