Note-learning tracks for "A Jubilant Song"

Thanks to bass Paul Glick for sending this info: "I came across this web site that has laid out all the tracks using a simulated voice (it is really bizarre). Nevertheless, it is quite effective. For each voice part there is a solo, a mixed voice with your voice part emphasized and a tutti version. There are controls that let you slow it down or speed it up. I plan to use this just to get the pitches and the feel of this thing... Here is the link to this page: A Jubilant Song Rehearsal Tracks"

After checking these out, I found the "solo" files to be the most useful, so I'm including mp3 files of those here so it's easy to download to your computer or phone:
