notes
While the title, found on the organ part, gives the alternative between viole da gamba and trombones, two of the detached instrumental parts are written for violins and in the key of a violin, with the indication "Violino. 1. [2do] - viola da gamba. 1. [2.] / 1:8tava niedriger". A performance with 2 violins and viola da gamba (a part which essentially follows that of the bass) is therefore just as plausible.
