Duncan Macintyre MIDI Files for Jink & Diddle 2011 If you are registered for Jink & Diddle 2011, you should already have a pdf file of the music in the Macintyre collection. IF you have not downloaded the pdfs, they can be downloaded here. This page includes midi files (.mid) of the tunes in the Macintyre collection as an aid to becoming familiar with the music in the Macintyre collection. They should play with almost any media player or music transcirption program that can read standard midi files. Click on a page number link to play through your browser. The midi files are organized by page numbers or groups of pages in the Macintyre collection. When there are more than one tune, there is a pause between tunes in the midi file. Each tune is played once. If you want to hear the third tune, you may have to listen through the first and second tunes again, as well. Of course, if you have software that can import midi files, you can download thems and manipulate them as you wish, changing voices, save individual pieces, import them into Garage Band (for example) and put them on your iPod, etc. The midi files are intended to give a rough idea of what the tunes sound like. At Jink & Diddle, we may play faster or slower that the tempos used for these files. And we will use rubato and other forms of expression. The midi files use a piano sound voice, do not use any expression or ornamentation, and are at relatively uniform volume throughout. Please take them as a rudimentary aid only to the basic melody. I would recommend listening to the tunes while you look at the sheet music. For the technically inclined: I used Photoscore Lite to OCR the pdf files and get them into Sibelius 5. I exported Midi Type 1 files from Sibelius and read those midi files into Encore 5.0.5, where I did any necessary editing, pagination, etc. In Encore, I inserted blank bars between tunes as needed to audibly separate tunes, then exported midi files to make the ones linked from this page. All on a 9 year old Macintosh Dual G4 running Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am currently experimenting with converting the MacIntyre collecting to large format 10 x 14 page sizes in Encore. If this is successful, I may put large format pdfs available for those students who wish to do the same. Maynard Johnson |
