Here are some ways in which you can learn your parts.1. Tapes / CD's are available to purchase. Ask at choir, there may be a discount available. 2. Midi files free on the internet* Follow the links from our website and you can play and download free files. Think of them as being like karaoke - your computer plays the music and you sing along. For example, for our concert of Elijah, just follow the links to the relevant pages and you can hear all your music IN YOUR PART. You can chose to hear it played on piano or organ. The files are free because kind people have sat at their keyboard, played the music, recorded it and uploaded it onto the internet. Midi fields are tiny and will download in seconds. It is possible to play midi files through you computer or keyboard. and it is possible to have the score displayed, slowed down for difficult passages etc. Here are some Elijah links: n.b. Not all choir works are available as midi files, and not always in SATB parts. Midi files might need Quick Time to play, but your computer should take care of downloading the relevant software. 3. Buy the music from iTunes or similar site. As an example, for the 2008 concert performed in the Minster, most of the anthems were on sale individually from iTunes priced 79p. Thus almost the entire concert could be set up in iTunes in the correct order of performance, and listened to on the computer or mp3 player.
