The following lists a number of websites offering a variety of rehearsal tracks to help you learn the music Hardynge Choir will be singing in our next concert. Most are free. Some allow you just to hear your voice part, and a with a few you can follow the score.
There are also a few YouTube video recordings of a performance. Two video allows you to follow the score rather than watch the performers, but obviously you will hear all voice parts with the accompanists on one, and full orchestra on the other. That may not be the easiest way to learn your part.

There are a few good recordings of this work on YouTube, once you get past the annoying adverts. Or you could use an adblocker extension in your browser, eg Adblock Plus.
In the following two videos you can follow the score as the work is performed, and the first is particularly useful as it has piano accompaniment, which is how we will be singing it.
