RISM has 4 entries for this work, none of which are an autograph manuscript. One doesn't list a scoring, though it does list 4 movements as choral. One lists 4 solo voices with orchestra (including winds) but does not list a chorus in the scoring, and only has incipits and descriptions for 2 movements, neither of which is choral. Another lists 4 solo voices and orchestra (including winds), and although it doesn't list a chorus in its scoring, it lists 2 movements as choral. The fourth lists 3 solo voices, mixed chorus, strings and continuo. For the moment, this page will be tagged for voices generically (no number), chorus, and orchestra. Subject to correction, and hopefully at some point we will get an autograph manuscript to use for a more accurate tag.
