MIDI versions

There are free MIDI versions of many choral pieces available on the internet.
MIDI is not a recording format, but a set of instructions that play the piece on your computer,
rather like a player piano roll. They typically sound like a synthesiser.
MIDI files contain the notes for each part, so are useful for rehearsal and personal 'note bashing'.

This wonderful site by John Hooper has a very wide repetoire in MIDI for all four parts
