Willie Campbell has kindly provided MP3 files of the chorus numbers. The page numbers are from the Chappell edition of the score.

Clicking on any link should open a new tab, with a playable version of the file. The control panel that you get depends on the browser you use and the plug-ins on your computer. If you have difficulty, you can right-click the link and download the file for playing off-line.

These files just contain one part. If you want to hear the context, or even download (old) recordings of the show, go to this link.
