Link directly to any of
these midis in my FTP directory. This places an extraordinary load on the
server. Instead download them and run them from your own local server.
Some
Sequences May Change
-
I frequently 'tinker' with
my earlier sequences to correct errors or to improve upon mediocre arrangements.
What this means is that if you download the zip files of these tunes you
will sometimes encounter newer versions of earlier sequences, quite often
smaller in size. Do not be alarmed. These are improved versions! Simply
allow the older files to be overwritten.
Traditional
Tunes in the Public Domain
-
I have focused on sequencing
traditional tunes that are in the public domain. There are two exceptions.
The first is "Flower of Scotland", a tune written by the late Roy Williamson
of The Corries. Through its phenomenal popularity, this tune has
been adopted by Scots worldwide as the unofficial national anthem of Scotland.
The second tune is Wade
Hemsworth's Canadian classic "The Log Drivers' Waltz". To include this
in my midi collection I have taken all the appropriate administrative steps
to comply with Canadian copyright regulations.
Speed
and Functionality
-
This web site is designed
for functionality and speed. By minimizing or eliminating graphics, page
counters, background music, frames and tables, users are able to load and
navigate the tunebook pages quickly... very quickly. The midi files themselves
are never more than a single click away. Zip files of each collection are
conveniently located at the top of each collection page. Finally, within
those zip files are menus which you can use off-line to play tunes, sing
along with and print lyrics from the tunebook on your own hard drive.
