We’ll all need to practice plenty between rehearsals for because the Requiem is a mighty endeavour with lots of singing to enjoy. That’s where learning tracks for different voice parts come in. They include all parts but emphasise the soprano, alto, tenor or bass variously according to which one you choose. It helps a lot to hear what’s happening around you so that you can avoid being put off. Even better they can help you to learn how other parts cue in your own entries to complement watching Clara’s direction – and to save reading the score when you’re not singing.
Take your pick from John Fletcher Music Rehearsal files or Cyberbass. You don’t need a membership to access the John Fletcher Requiem files. Cyberbass allows you to gradually adjust the speed of the tracks.
