Some of the Numbers are not available from the standard vocal scores. If anyone is aware where I can get a copy of a score with those missing Numbers included, please let me know. Voice-emphasised Midi Files of the whole work can be downloaded for free from my Website (above). The Site also contains Midi Files for several rather more modern Composers, for which NWC versions may be available. |
