Stuffe for The Heidelberg Choral Society

Overview (or skip straight to current resources)

This page provides links that may be useful to members of the Heidelberg Choral Society. More links will be added as new material becomes available. This scheme avoids having to circulate a new URL for each new resource.

Most of the resource material is stored in the cloud on Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. URLs for these locations are long, ugly and very forgettable. An advantage of this page is that it hides all the ugly bits and should make it easier to access the material.

How to download : to download a Musescore file, a pdf or an mp3 file from this page, first click on the link provided. This will open a new tab on your browser and at the top right there should be a download link or symbol. Click on that to download the file you are trying to obtain. Right clicking on the original link and selecting "Save link as..." will probably NOT work. It used to, once upon a time, but browsers no longer seem to permit it.
