Haydn – The Creation
The rehearsal tracks for The Creation are complete. The PDF copy of the score is the OLD Novello edition – the only one found to be available on-line just now.
ALSO, the download button on each track is behaving unpredictably at the moment and can just launch another MP3 player. This appears to be a “feature” of the latest release of the website application *sigh*. As a work-around, if you are using a laptop/desktop with a mouse, right-click on the right-hand side of the additional player and a menu should appear with an option to “Save the video” (it isn’t a video, but we will let that pass). That will download the MP3 file. If you are using a tablet/phone this work-around cannot be used.

Rehearsal Track Notes
To save a lot of swapping between different applications and to minimise the need to explain the differences encountered by users of a wide variety of laptops, tablets and phones, access to various incarnations of the rehearsal tracks for our performances has been centralised as far as possible in the SACS Website.
Instructions for playing the rehearsal tracks onLine
MP3 files are the main mechanism for access to the rehearsal tracks. MP3 files are very similar to any other music track from a CD or from the Internet, and can be played directly through your browser. There is an MP3 file for all voices, and one each with emphasis on each of the individual voices. To play through the browser you are using now, click on the link (above) to the voice part you want to hear and a set of players should appear. Click the “Play” button (usually an arrowhead on its side on the left of the player). A list of rehearsal marks and their timestamps are included for more precise location of a section. A link to a pdf file containing the original score is also included. This will open the file in a separate tab on your browser.
