Midi Files for Toronto Classical Singers

This website is a resource for members of the TCS who like to sing with their computer. Here you can find links to midi files for the music we're rehearsing. Usually these are links to midi files out there on the internet; but, in a couple of cases, they are to midi files created by me. 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.

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 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.

March 2005 Concert

Franz Schubert

Great is The Lord

midi  prepared by me – solo and chorus, some piano and organ, but just at the start

Lord is My Shepherd

I found a couple, but they were different arrangements than the one we're doing. Can anyone find one which is any use?

Mass in A-Flat Major

Pyle's Files  scroll down to Schubert Mass in A-Flat – orchestra, piano, and chorus

Sylvis Woodshed  scroll down to Franz Schubert, then Mass in A Flat – solo and chorus only

Ständchen – Zögernd leise

midi  prepared by me – solo and chorus, piano introduction

May 2005 Concert

Felix Mendelssohn

Hear my Prayer

Choral Public Domain Library  use the "Composer" and "Title" boxes to search for Mendelssohn and Hear my Prayer. The little speaker symbol points to the midi file – piano part as well as solo and chorus.

Hymn of Praise

Choral Public Domain Library  use the "Composer" and "Title" boxes to search for Mendelssohn and Hymn of Praise. Each movement listed separately with midi file shown as little speaker – organ and vocal parts.
