Frome Voices
Resources
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 recordings that you can buy. You’ll also find 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.

There are also a myriad of recordings for inspiration and we’ll let you know about preferred recordings during rehearsals. In the meantime, here are some to get you started:
