MIDI music files

Back to Home Page                these music files will be updated from time to time as time and enthusiasm permit

These are Midi Files I created when singing in the Purcel Chamber Choir, used for learning the music as I could increase the volume on the bass or tenor part until I knew the music backwards! Once the volumes are set right for each voice, I let them play in a loop, over and over until it got drummed into me and I could then concentrate on the words. Since I am not able to sight read music, I had to enter the notes one-by-one which took forever!

I found that using Anvil Studios gave me all the functions I needed to create the files, and they will play back on the free version available here:  http://www.anvilstudio.com/ I actually have paid for some of the add-ons but just to play the midi file the free version is fine. Note, you will be able to hear the music using your default Windows/Mac player, but you will not be able to alter the volume of the individual tracks/voices. they are set to however I last had them, probably biased to the Bass.
