Listening and playing notes

These are vocal scores: expect underlaid text, short phrases and refrains that repeat. Keep the words clear and let the accompaniment support rather than cover the voices. The collection runs to about 4 minutes, so most individual pieces are short. Check the scoring named on the file before printing. The complexity index is a rough proxy for notation density, not a formal grade.
