Thanks. I was going off of the templet on the site. The whole song with out repeats is 23 measures long, with repeats it's double that I think. I'm not performing this
Here is a recording of the harpsichord part I was to orchestrate.. It jumps all over the place and I'm not aloud to change the line of the melody. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1672188/lessons%20in%20harpsichord%20orchestra%20assignment%20in%20g%20major.mp3 Take care.
