Thanks to Gill Bickley for finding this set of You tube part guides: https://www.youtube.com/user/Mathias75018/search?query=Charpentier (By Mathias Charton. The parts are mixed, and there are other pieces by Charpentier on this list).
​
Another tip from Leon to help with your listening and learning: Consider purchasing https://www.audiostretch.com - it changes the tempo without changing the pitch, AND will change the pitch up or down, a semitone at a time – it’s great!
