Midi files
These midi files have no consistent structure or quality, and may only contain one track, a piano track or multiple tracks.
A major innovation using a digital library is the ability to download MIDI music files which can also help amateur choirs or singers to begin learning pieces, even in 4-part harmony, with very little effort.
The music on this site has been selected in the belief that it is in the public domain or that due permission has been received. Should you feel that this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
