Training or sample videos of the novus ordo sung?

    I just did a talk at a conference on music and liturgy, which was great fun. After reading a bit from the various documents of the church, the general feeling was 'why has no one ever told us this stuff? - a feeling I have been sharing these last few years.
    Anyway I realised there is nowhere that I know of to send people to see what a novus ordo mass done well and sung is actually like, there are none in this country that I know off (though I hope I am wrong about that).
    I know St john Cantius priests and the fssp have training videos for saying the extraordinary form, but I can't find anything similar for the ordinary form. There are some nice videos of masses, but none I can find with singing of the propers, and the priest singing all his parts.
    I know there are practice videos and so on for the parts, what I am looking for is a total picture of what it should look and sound like.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks.
    If there is none, could we make one at the colloquium?

    You have to sort through the videos (there are also Catholic interviews and homily-only videos), but as of today there are a full year of Sunday's available. The only time the celebrants/deacons don't sing their part is due to serious illness and no other celebrant being available (there are I believe two Masses without clergy singing in the year of videos).
