Bach B minor Mass parts individually sung

If preparing for the Bach Mass in B minor, 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.
