Händel's "Lascia ch'io pianga" - Medium-Easy Trumpet Version

Some weeks ago I found a version of Händel's aria, "Lascia ch'io pianga", in some trumpet book. Quite a coincidence, because at that time I was teaching my pupils other Baroque tunes (Clarke's "Trumpet Voluntary"and Charpentier's "Te Deum Overture") and we were talking about how rich was the ornamentation in Baroque. How something written pretty simple could easily get like this:

Oh boy... let's not get there, at least not yet.


Here's an example track. Not too difficult, right?

Have the music sheet too. You may download the music sheet as PDF, or in MuseScore format, so you can edit, transpose, transcribe and customize it to your own needs.
The Centurion font was used in the Musescore sheet:

I added on the music sheet some of the ornaments I did, but you feel free to come up with your own ornaments. Here is the backing track:
