It looks like a superb resource for choral musicians – if you know something about the International Phonetic Alphabet!
Here is a little of what they say about themselves:
You’ll find learning tools and information for hundreds of oratorios, sacred and secular choral music, and art songs in German, French, and American English. The main learning tools in this section are videos which combine the time tested Word-for-Word and IPA transcription with spoken demonstrations by a native speaker who is an accomplished singer or diction coach. For each work or movement there are two videos. The first video displays and demonstrates the text read at a natural pace which matches the IPA transcription but also demonstrates what can’t be captured by IPA: the melody of the language. The second video displays the same information but the text spoken is slowly, with each word clearly pronounced.
I took a look around and signed up for a trial membership.
Check it out – lots of great resources. It is good now, but I hope it contains many mroe resources in the future!
