Audio recordings: any music player should open the MP3 audio files below. Many computers come with Windows Media Player. Other players are available for free download, such as Quicktime. These files are quite large and will take a few minutes to download, even with a high-speed connection. You should be able to listen while the files are downloading, after a short delay for initial downloading. If you use a dial-up connection to the internet, you may want to purchase a CD with all the audio recordings. Audio recordings courtesy of Confluence Media.
