When I learned this song in the 1960s there were no "practice accompianments." We learned from the score until we learned it-the old-fashioned way.Sometimes we could record on our primitive tape recorders, if we had one. I am closing forty+ yeas of singing a in a few weeks and a finding videos of most of the music, t.e., Bach and Handel, to refresh memories. Each song will vary based on human factors, how one feels, the energy of the audience, the climate, etc.
