---the audio in these examples is computer midi, and thus plays the notes, but without words.
---these examples are intended to help you to start familiarizing yourself with the oratorio. Eventually, separate learning tracks for each voice will be provided, to assist you in learning the music.
---some of the text the Chorus sings is in Greek, and some of it will be familiar ("Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison.") When the rehearsal tracks are available, I will post audio examples of how to pronounce the Greek texts.
