Practice tracks for Altos - Spring 2025

New ==> Practice tracks for the Maunder edition of the Agnus Dei can be found at the bottom of the following two windows.

Stream or download and sing along to these practice aids from the Berkshire Choral Festival.

The tracks are by a vocal quartet accompanied by piano.  The tracks below emphasize the alto and bass voices. 

The oral instructions on each track pertain to the Bärenreiter edition of the vocal score.  So the measure numbers are correct but the page numbers may be off a little.

These BCF tracks are good not only for learning the notes, the rhythms but also the pronunciation.

Oops ==> The last BCF track for Altos and Basses (file # 14-2) is the correct movement but the wrong voices.  Sorry about that!  I don't have the correct file in my archive.  Try the ChordPerfect rendition of this movement ("Part 7 Communio") at the bottom of this page.

Check out these YouTube videos of rehearsal aids for the Alto parts.  

Page #s refer to the Peters and Schirmer editions.
