Notes on Midi and MP3 Sources available
CHORALIA (free)
These particular MP3 files use a “synthetic voice” which sounds a bit odd, but does mean you can hear each syllable pronounced. It’s very helpful, though purists may shudder!
You can choose the Voice with metronome, Emphasised voice with other voices, or All voices.
You can either play these from the web page (left-click) or download each file to your PC (right-click and “Save As”).
CYBERBASS (free)
Another useful practice resource in which the emphasised part is played on an instrument rather than voice.
CHORD PERFECT (some free, some paid)
This site enables you to hear your particular part emphasised and sung by professional singers complete with orchestral accompaniment. There are not many composers or works featured. You can find it here.
JOHN FLETCHER’S MIDI AND MP3 FILES (some free, some paid)
Works that are out of copyright are free to download. To download works that are still in copyright, you must register for a paid account and log in.
You can either play these from the web page (left-click) or download each file to your PC (right-click and “Save As”). The slowed-down sections for practice are clearly marked “at slower, rehearsal speed”. If playing a Midi file direct from the web does not work, you can download the Midi files individually to your PC by right-clicking each icon.
