Rehearsal aids
A number of websites provide rehearsal aids to help you practise your part. You can bookmark, favourite or download them to avoid having to come back here each time.

Being out of copyright, access is free, though you still need to sign up.
To play the files, click the appropriate link above, and login if necessary. Then 'Click here for the sound files', then the movement, then the mp3 file for your part, and then the play arrow. You can also download the mp3 file to your computer for easy access each time. NB: you do not need to signup to Dropbox!
YouTube
Only the Handel is available for free on YouTube, as follows:| From harmony, from heavenly harmony | Soprano | Alto | Tenor | Bass |
| The trumpet's loud clangour | Soprano | Alto | Tenor | Bass |
| As from the power of sacred lays | Soprano | Alto | Tenor | Bass |
Note that from the ⚙ (Settings) menu you can adjust the playback speed to a preset or custom value, to play your line more slowly.
Spotify
If you already subscribe to Spotify, it is a good place to find performances (and occasionally parts too.) If you don't subscribe, it's not really worth doing so just for rehearsal aids, as the subscription cost is high and ever-increasing. There are other similar services like Amazon Music too.
