Choral Practice Files

A collection of files in MOZART format (.mz) that have been produced to help me learn my part, first bass, for performance with the Hoylake Choral Society. MOZART is a music notation application that allows the music to be played on the computer with a line that tracks across the score as the music plays. Particular parts may be accentuated to aid the learning process and since I sing first bass this part is dominant in most of these pieces. In some cases I have included versions where other part emphasis is indicated.
The accompaniment is often not included and where it is it has not been done with much attention to accuracy. It has been mainly to provide context for the vocal lines. Lyrics have been entered for the bass line and some times also for other lines.

Mozart software logoThe "viewer" software for MOZART can be downloaded free from the MOZART website. This allows the files to be viewed on the screen, printed and played back but does not permit any changes. The full MOZART software can be purchased through the same site and this additionally allows the creation of new music files and the editing of existing ones.


If you download any of these files and edit them to improve the representation, correct errors, add lyrics for other parts, etc., it would be greatly appreciated if you would send the updated version back to lawrie@schonfelder.co.uk so I can add the improved version to the list here.
