Hymnus Paradisi
1 - Preludio
Orchestra only - uploaded here for information for those who like to know what happens before they sing!
2 - Requiem Aeternam
Note: This movement is set for Double Choir. In both Choirs the Basses divide and the Second Choir Sopranos also divide. You will need to be aware of which choir you belong to and which division. Tenors in the Second Choir also divide but for two bars only, hence there is not a separate learning file.
