For those members with audio capabilities on their computer the following files are provided as an aid to learning their part. The files are in midi format. These can be played by a number of programs, including the windows media player. However, the free program MIDIPLAY has a number of features that make it more useful in this context. In particular, this program can make a fairly good stab at displaying the music being played in standard notation during playback and a single voice part can be made to playback at a higher volume than the rest so making it easier to learn a particular part. To use MIDIPLAY download the file MidiPlay_v2p6.exe and copy it to a suitable location, "my music" folder for instance. The files you want to play should be downloaded from the links below, possibly also to "my music" or a suitable sub-folder.Midi files for use as rehearsal aids for Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle can be found at http://cvi.free.fr/midi/Pages%20htm/petite_messe_solennelle_rossini.htm This French choral site has a number of quite good midi practice files for some of the major works in the repertoire. Rehearsal aids for this and many other pieces are also available on John Hooper's midi files site.
