learn Your Part
You may long to hear your voice part (with the words) sung by a professional with an orchestra and the other sung voice parts at a quieter level in the background. Various websites offer such recordings that you can buy. You can also search for your voice part sung on You Tube (free) but you may also be plagued by the adverts!
Otherwise, there are a number of excellent websites and free online resources that can help you to learn your choral part and you can find a few direct links here. Some are free and others may ask for a small payment or subscription.
As a starting point, the following sites offer free audio rehearsal resources.

It’s a great tool to help you read and understand music more confidently, so you can get the most out of our rehearsals and performances.
