:-) These are wind instruments. Brass, to be precise, but there are some conflicting theories about what was meant exactly. Our hardcore-hip group is to play BWV118 later in the season, here's the theory on what the parts were written for according to our man (summary: wooden brass!): http://www.barokensembledeswaen.nl/html_e/lituus.html (There are more links at te bottom of that page.) Enjoy your cantata, it's always great to play Bach!
