Rosenethe Singers
Sunday, 24th November 2024
To make the most of each rehearsal and ensure all Rosenethe Singers are 'concert ready', it is vital that you practise at home. Below are links to online aids that may be of help to you.
S. V. Rachmaninov
All-Night Vigil op. 37 (Vespers)
​
A) Rehearsal aids
i) Choralia provides audio files which allow you to learn your part by listening to electronically synthesized 'singing'. It is free of charge, however there are adverts. Donations to the site for its maintenance are invited. There are three levels: 1st, with an individual part only plus metronome; 2nd, with emphasis of an individual part with other voices; 3rd, all voices are synthesised with the same sound and same volume. You are able to adjust the tempo and volume as you progress.
