Since the authorship of this is doubtful, and only an excerpt (in reduced vocal score...) has been uploaded, the instrumentation is tagged as unknown until such time as the full work can be examined.
Pergolesi is known to have written at least one Dixit Dominus setting which exists in autograph and whose occasion is known- around 1733, which has been recorded (on a Marian Vespers reconstruction on Erato) (though its Tecum principium, unlike those of the two settings uploaded here, is in a major mode.)
