Bach choral rehearsal parts individually sung

If preparing for the Bach Mass in Biminor, here’s a site of free Mass parts individually sung by Ophiel van Leer—enabling you to get the words and rhythms down-pat. Great aids to get well-rehearsed, I was able to sing along in the car. See here.

This other site offers, for purchase, your part sung by a professional teaching singer. Selected hard passages are slowed on special tracks called StudySpots™.  Only the best available professional choral singers active in the Boston musical scene—performing as soloists, recitalists and singers with groups—are used. All choral movements are supported by aicomplete performance recording in the background. See here.

If you want easy-to-understand handbooks on horticulture, I can recommend those of the best teachers I’ve ever had, who taught me at the University of Melbourne, Burnley Horticultural College.

For instance, Soil Characteristics and Plant Nutrition, Student Handbooks by Rod McMillan, are available from their site at Adland.
