INCANTATIONS

This is a truly wonderful piece of music and I think you will enjoy playing it!  Below are three links to sound files so you can listen, follow your music, figure out how your part fits and even play along:

Cent Jr.Dist recording - This is the best of the three for listening to get the style I want and to be able to hear all the parts.  Practice with this one when you get the parts learned.

WMS recording from 2007 - I like this one, but again, there is a "but" -- part of the recording was lost in technical problems, so there are two blips in the middle.  Trumpets start out a little bit too blasty and the brass isn't quite together, but otherwise, it is a nice interpretation and well played.  Percussion is pretty accurate!  This one is at a slower tempo and would be easiest to start playing with (except the blips in the prayer).

Demo - this is the demo recording that the publisher puts out.  It has a lot of clarity so you can really hear the parts.  HOWEVER...  I interpret it a bit differently in a number of places, so don't get stuck in the tempos and style of this recordiing (especially, brass, don't play those first notes so short!).
