Difference of part ‘instrument’ sounds:
- Choral ahs are a digital representation of a vocal line for a part. It’s better at providing duration of notes.
- Part played with piano. It’s more precise for both pitch and rhythm, but not great for representing long (tied) note duration (which this peice has).

Learning files: Here are learning files for S2, A1, and A2. PLEASE READ the NOTES to get oriented:
CRITICAL: All files start at soprano pickup to m 10. (Skipping unison on page 1) For ALTO 1 & 2, I have kept the Soprano pick up to help Altos find their starting note (it's often the Sop phrase 'We are…").
Sopranos often have grace notes in the repeated chorus section; I did not put that into the files.
Note that m 33 starts a section where S1 and S2 alternate lines (don't know if Sadie will want us to do that). All Soprano notes are there. The Altos have no notes there, but they do have a click-track to follow the counting which is what is in the score.
At m 61, I slow the tempo down as marked and then bring it back to the main tempo at m 69.
