Specific information available for subscribers.
Mvt 1 requires 6 violins & 2nd hp from off-stage.
Double chorus in mvt 3 only.
In mvt 4: 9 off-stage trumpet (3 parts) in addition to the 4 on stage; 4 harps[2 parts].
If the whole work is performed, there is time to bring the offstage harp (mvt 1) to the stage in time for the 4th mvt, however this may not be practical.
