| Overview: |
This site provides MIDI performances of classical works which can be located by
musical period, title, or composer. MIDI files created by several authors are collected and placed on this site. Readers are encouraged to share their files. It also offers support information for MIDI related topics as well as composer images and musical timelines. |
| Learning Goals: |
Realizing that live performances are often very difficult to find for study
purposes, this is an immediate way to hear performances relatively close to the
original. Not all works listed have MIDI files so there is a goal to complete
the list to have a fully represented historical overview through listening. |
| Target Student Population: |
This site could be used for all ages depending on the level of listening
experience and background. Music appreciation, music history and music analysis students would find these midi performances useful. |
| Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills: |
No real musical background is required to listen at some level. Working with a
browser and MIDI files is required (playing of files only). |
| Type of Material: |
Classical works performed with MIDI files, static images and MIDI information. |
| Recommended Uses: |
Students can quickly find supportive listening from most musical periods to
augment their studies. They also have a place to browse in support of appreciation, history and and analysis classes. |
| Technical Requirements: |
Use of a browser with .mid extension capabilities. |
