There are numerous competent performances of this Work on YouTube. A good one by a large Choir is that by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Conductor Robert Shaw, starting here. An excellent one by a smaller Choir is that by the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, Choeur Accentus, under Laurence Equilbey, starting here.
There are several different versions of this Work, and several different Scores - which broadly follow either the Novello scheme or the Rutter/OUP scheme. The Midi Files as originally prepared followed the Novello scheme, and they are here. Subsequently I made a revised version of the Files so as to follow more closely the Rutter/OUP scheme. If you prefer that one, then they are are those in the Table below.
Here is a "clickable" Table of the available "OUP/Rutter-type" Midi Files for this Work.
Please note that in sections 2, 3 and 6 the Tenors or Basses have not been divided.
These Midis can be played either using a conventional Midi Player, such as Chris Hills's MidiPlay or the Windows Media Player, or using the rather different Choral Music Tutor, which is a web app that plays MIDI files. Choral Music Tutor runs on any device - any Desktop PC (Windows or Mac), Tablet (Android or iPad) or Smartphone (Android or iPhone) - that can browse the internet. It is not an app that you have to download or install. In the Table below, "CMT" loads the UNemphasised version; an individual Voice can then be emphasised by clicking its Emph toggle button (the volume can also be adjusted with the slider). There is more information about playing MIDI Files here.
