Specific information available for subscribers.
Double chorus & double orchestra.
Numerous smaller solo parts may be taken by members of the chorus.
Recorders in one movement only; probably the 2 recorder parts were originally intended for 6 players or so, perhaps covered by some of the violinists not otherwise occupied in that particular movement.
1 viola da gamba will suffice, though score calls for 1 in each orchestra.
