There are several practice resources for the Rutter. Use whichever works best for you, or mix and match!
Click here for YouTube videos prepared by the Virtual Choir Project. For each movement there is a Full Choir version as well as a videos with individual parts highlighted. Voices are computer generated so pronunciation and diction are not always precise. You can adjust the playback speed by clicking on the settings gear icon.
Click here for the Cyberbass Project version. This is a resource we have used before. Individual voice parts are picked out on a keyboard with other parts played lightly in the background. You can also play all parts with the Tutti option. There are controls for playback speed plus the option to loop a particular section. Unfortunately, the accompaniment track is very quiet and there does not appear to be an adjustment for that.
Click here for practice tracks prepared by the First Presbyterian Church of Arlington, TX. These are YouTube videos that show the score along with the individual parts played on a keyboard. You can adjust the playback speed by clicking on the settings gear icon.
Click here to download MP3 audio files prepared by the Grace Chorale of Brooklyn. These are separated by part and broken down by accompaniment-only sections (Intros) vs singer sections (Movements). Depending on your MP3 player, you may be able to control playback speed.
