This website is a resource for members of the TCS who like to learn music by singing with their computer. Here you can find links to midi files for the music we're rehearsing. Always beware of errors in midi files. If it sounds wrong, it might really be wrong; so don't assume you're singing the wrong note. Of course you can let the author of the midi file know about errors, but you can also correct them yourself with Melody Assistant.
If you have found midi files on the internet for music we're rehearsing which are not listed here, please send me the links by email and I'll add them; or if you have created your own midi file, I'll be happy to post it for you if you wish.
If you've never done this before, and want to get started, you can use this midi hints document. It's the same one that I sent by email in the fall. It includes instructions on where to find a midi player suitable for rehearsing and tips on how to use it.
ISCO - Hallel - midi files This site is mostly in Hebrew, but has enough English to let you find what you need. Click on "Repertoire". Note the column headings at the top which say "All", "Soprano", "Alt", etc. The midi files in these columns are all the same, except that the one for a particular part has the volume for that part set louder. Scroll down to "Mendelssohn - Wie der Hirsch schreit nach frischem Wasser". Note: you may be asked if you want to install the Hebrew language pack, but just click "cancel" if you don't want to install it.
