Within the folder for the musical piece, further folders may be found for each voice part. The individual mp3 voice files can be played directly via your browser or downloaded to a local device.
[The Dvorak Credo is in two audio files: file ‘3a’ is up to letter ‘H’, and file ‘3b’ begins 4 bars before letter ‘H’.]

Note on performance of Dvorak Mass in D
Dvořák was commissioned to compose the mass by the architect and patron Josef Hlávka for the inauguration of the chapel that he had built for his summer residence in Lužany. The work was composed between March and June 1887.
Because of the size of the chapel, the choir had to be small, and no orchestra was possible.
The video above is of a small choir which, I think, helps the untrained ear to hear the separate voices more distinctly.
