For the Harpsichord I have used the upper chordal notes of Corelli's figured bass (the cello has the root notes). Since the realization of a figured bass is left up to the performer, and since I am no expert at this, I took liberties and simplified it as much as possible so that it would not overwhelm the strings. At any rate, the Harpsichord can be deleted or muted without any detriment to the overall effect.
