There are no tenor or viola parts included here, although they are mentioned on the title page. There are empty pages labelled "Tenor" and "Viola", as if the copyist wasn't able to finish copying all the parts. In the preface to the printed edition, Telemann indicated that violas/tenors could double the bass part (an octave higher if needed).
An autograph in D-B (see RISM) is scored for 2 sopranos solo, a choir (SSB), 2 violins and continuo. Telemann also indicated that oboes and/or flutes could double the violin parts if desired.
