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 |
