There are no text/lyrics; these Files were generated purely for Choral Rehearsing purposes (using a published piano-reduction Score), and so don't look pretty even though they should sound reasonable (though that depends very much on your hardware/software; mine is a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold). Voice-emphasised Midi Files of the whole work can be downloaded for free from my Website (above).
My thanks to Mike Gibson, https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/User:Michael_Gibson, whose NWC2 Files I borrowed.
The Site also contains Midi Files for several rather more modern Composers, for which NWC versions may be available.
There is a competent performance of this Work by Brattleboro Bach Festival Chorus and Orchestra, under Blanche Moyse, on YouTube starting <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8McLtQsa-3M .
