immediately or download it. It depends on your setup. If you want to be sure of
downloading it (so you can play it later when you are off-line), then right

Midi Practice Files
Christmas Oratorio Files
HMS Pinafore Files
Please choose the file that corresponds with your part.
When you play them you will find that your part is the loudest, and on the right channel, all other parts
are on the left. However if you still
find the other parts distracting, you only need to slide the balance over to the
right to eliminate them. On the other hand if you wish to test your memory you
can do this by sliding the balance to the left. If you don't know how, go here.
Tempos are roughly at the performance
tempo. However if you wish to slow down those tricky sections, it is suggested that you download and install the free Vanbasco
Karaoke Player which will enable you to change the tempo
with a slider.
These have been checked fairly meticulously, but if you do find an error -
even a single note, please send me an email at mackaychoralsociety@gmail.com.
Thanks.
As for the copyright legality of these MIDI files,
my research leads me to believe that they fall under the "fair use" doctrine for copyright
material, under the subsection "scholarship and research". It should
also be noted that these Midis are useless without a singer having the sheet
music in front of them, and as such it only encourages the sale of sheet music,
instead of diminishing it.
