Do anyone know if there is a software program that will accept my choral midi file with the words and then play it back so that I can hear all parts (SATB) being sung by a quartet of computer generated voices?
You might be interested in Choralia - www dot choralia dot net/ - who does this sort of thing for free. And if you need Midi Files to work from, perhaps my own Site - www dot learnchoralmusic dot co uk - would be helpful.

Thank you for this information.
I have used Melody Assistant for a number of years for helping singers to learn parts. I encode in NWC and save as Midi and import into Melody Assistant. Then Export/Save as an mp3. Works reasonably well, with generally Japanese style pronunciations. You can sort some of these by changing some words to a more phonetic pronunciation. But I call it my "Japanese Choir"
