Guide to the Audio Playlist Players below.  Focus on the appropriate player for your voice.  You may use the voice buttons above to bring that selected voice playlist to the top of the screen. The play button (triangle shape) will change to a pause button (2 parallel lines) while the music is playing.  Select one of the oratorio individual "movements" and the movement will begin to play.   The player progress bar is the horizontal line below the play / pause button indicating the current point in the movement playing in minutes and seconds.  You can tap along the bar to change the time index value.  View the current time index point currently being played by examining the time index value above the progress bar.  Selecting a specific time index in the movement using the playlist player's progress bar is not as precise as the audio player used on the Sunday anthem webpages but it should allow you to come relatively close to the desired time index number.  For your convenience to the left of the audio playlist player is a table of rehearsal mark numbers corresponding with the rehearsal marks in the printed score and their relative times occurring in the audio clips for each oratorio movement containing choir systems.  Movements containing only solo, duet, trio, etc. are not included in the audio play list.   Note that Soprano and Altos sing in ten oratorio movements.  Tenors and Basses sing in only eight oratorio movements.  The speaker icon near the end of the progress bar can be used to control volume levels, however it highly recommended that volume be controlled using only the local volume controls on your desktop or mobile device (most mobile devices volume control can only be controlled locally) and NOT attempt to control the volume by means of the webpage's playlist volume control.  The lyrics icon at the end of the program bar (looks like a quarter note with three horizontal lines at the stem) will display the movement text.  Use the Download Album button if you wish to download the audio clips for the selected S. A. T. or B. voice.   The eight or ten movements for the selected voice will download to your local desktop or mobile device as a zip file.

Music Score Note: You might find the Savior oratorio to be around a "medium" level of difficulty as far as negotiating pitches, intervals, tempo and rhythms.  The greatest challenge you will encounter is navigating the printed score's choir staves.  The choir staff position will vary greatly from movement to movement and sometimes within the movement itself.  Please note, the choir staves will always be indicated by a leading square bracket.   A PDF will not be made of the music score.  If you plan to practice the Saviour Oratorio outside of Wednesday Evening Rehearsals, you will need to take the paper music score with you.

Audio Recording Note: The audio clips are a recording of chorus, orchestra, solo, duet, etc. for each of the listed Saviour Oratorio movements containing choir systems.  The selected choir voice will be sung by a single individual and will be louder than all other voices in the recording.  Each movement title in the playlist will contain the letter "P" followed by a number.  This is the page number in the printed score where the audio recording begins.
