Joel,
I don't know about on the net, but the book by Piatak and Avrashov
'Russian Songs and Arias' has an excellent introduction to sung Russian,
the sounds of the Cyrillic alphabet and IPA transcriptions of many arias
and songs (alas no choral music). It's published by pst. Hope this helps!
Cheers
