Vashon Chorale MIDI rehearsal samples:
The links in the table below open MIDI files for the various sections. Some MIDI players are better than others (for instance, some let you use a slider to set where you are in the piece, some don't.) Microsoft's Media Player, if you don't have it already, is available for download from their web site, as is Real Player, and others probably are, too.
If you really want to have control of how the files play, try downloading "VanBasco Karaoke" shareware. It will let you select which tracks you want to play, adjust the speed as you wish, and control the volumes independently. You might want to create a playlist of these files. It's very cool...give it a try.
Cost: It takes me several hours to create these rehearsal samples. If you find them useful, I would appreciate knowing it, and would not turn down a small contribution to my retirement fund (a couple $$ from enough people would cover it). Find me (Dennis Drewes) in the tenor section at rehearsal, or use the PayPal link below. Thanks!!
Note: You can make a CD for your CD player by
copying the MP3 files (not the MIDI version) you want to your computer
(right-click the link and "Save target as..." [Windows]) and burning them to a
CD. If you'd like me to make one for you, make a $5 donation via PayPal or
by check and tell me
1) what part you want, and
2) your name and address
(If you want to mail the request, send it to: Dennis Drewes, 10533 SW Cove
Rd., Vashon, WA 98070) Thanks again!.
If you have questions or comments, please contact me...

*Please note that these MP3 files are earlier versions of "Leonosa" and "Creative Minds". They accurately demonstrate the works' structure and harmony, but not the voice-leading of the revised versions. We will sing the versions in your printed scores. **Use VanBasco Karaoke or other music software to view the text. No promises...I've only tested it with VanBasco Karaoke! You might have to save the midi file to your computer and open with the music s/w.
