| Mercer county Choir participants Thank you for visiting this site, and good luck rehearsing. Keep in mind that these files are only meant to aid in your individual practice, but they do not replace the valuable time you spend with your director preparing for the festival. These files are not exactly musical. You need a conductor to make that happen, so use this site as a means of learning the notes, and then continue to practice a capella, following all dynamic markings, tempo changes, etc. These files ignore most fermatas, and their tempos are somewhere between the suggested performance tempo, and a slower practice tempo. On each page, you will find both mp3 files and Scorch files. You can download the mp3s and add them to your ipod or mp3 player, or burn to a CD. Right click and choose "Save Target As" when you want to download a file. I kept them pretty low quality for faster downloads. When you click on the scorch files, you will be sent to a page where you can view the music and even change the tempo to suit your practice needs. Slow it down if you like. Speed it up if you want to challenge yourself. However, you will need to download the Scorch plug-in to make this work. It's a quick, free download, so be sure to try that. It will be worth it. Click on any of the scorch files and there will be instructions at the bottom as to how to get the plug-in. The scorch files also show a visual of the music. Please disregard the sheet music that shows up. I made no attempt to have it look nice, only to sound accurate, but you can use it as a guide to navigate back and forth through the piece. You might have to click on a warning screen to activate "Active X" controls. It's okay. Go ahead and do this. Please email me immediately if you discover any mistakes in any of the files. I will correct the mistake and upload the corrected file right away. Also, feel free to email any other suggestions to improve your rehearsal site. Good luck!
