Computer Music Internet Research of Garnet R. Chaney!

Isao Tomita has done some wonderful arrangements of classical music. I thought I would search the net to see if I could find any midi files by him.

This site seems to have a lot of .MIDI files: http://www.kunstderfuge.com/mozart.htm. They have many pages of MIDI files for famous composers like Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and others. All of the MIDI files said that they were copyright by one person or another.

• http://www.ulujain.org/midis.php - MIDI files for Ultima Underworld.
• http://www.ulujain.org/eqmp3.php - Listing of MP3 songs in the everquest game, but the actual songs are not here.
• http://www.ibiblio.org/mcmahon/emusic-l/ - This had the following sad story: I got mail from a gentleman who is facing a problem that I'm afraid may be far too common in the future: I inherited after my father's death, a collection of his compositions in the form of midi files. They were produced using a very old version of Mark of the Unicorn's Performer software (ver. 1. something) running on an original 512 k (Fat) Macintosh (circa. 1985). The Mac is long since gone and I have been trying to resurrect the work my father left.

  None of my current software can read the midi files. Mark of the Unicorn have never answered my inquiries and a number of years have passed with no progress.

  It's very probable that in the future, a lot of good music will exist only as files in a proprietary format. And when the platform, or software, or operating system, or keydisk, or any number of other things disappears, so does the means of accessing that music.

  I hope there's someone out there who runs Performer (or something else that can read these files) who can help him out. If you can help, please contact me and I'll his email address on to you.

• http://yann.lecun.com/ - This fellow has a little bit about music on his website.

  http://yann.lecun.com/ex/fun/index.html#kahn.html - Funny story about how this guy is not the evil twin of Philippe Kahn, founder of Borland and my former boss.

• This sounds hopeful:

  --- Sadly just an empty page when I went to look at it.

  Here is a very nicepage about someone's trip to Paris: http://noehill.com/med/med2001/default.asp - It is so nice, I thought maybe it was a great example of the use of style sheets. It uses style sheets, but not enough, it also uses old fashioned tables for it's layout. I've recently been studying CSS and how to use it to specify the presentation of a page, instead of using things like tables to do so.
  This page has a few "public domain midi's" on it, courtesy of the Classical Midi Collection. Trying to go there, http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/cmc/index.htm, got me this colorful response:

  
  
  

  Forbidden

  You do not have permission to access the requested file on this server.

  Interestingly, this site was accessible from a server in California. They area apparently locking out foreign countries like Malaysia from accessing their site.

  They had a link for the 1812 Overture, but all you get is a redirect to a page full of banners.

  I just sent them this message:

  It looks like you are blocking access from Malaysia. I am on vacation here,
  and am trying to get some good midi files to share with my son, so we can
  learn how to use a piece of music software called Reason. I get "You do not
  have permission" when I try to go to your site.....
  
  Fortunately I have another machine back in California running remote
  desktop. I tried accessing your site from there, but when I right click a
  MIDI (for example 1812 overture by Tchaikovsky), and select "Save Target
  As", instead I get a redirect some page called "clavier.htm" which just
  looks like a bunch of banners.....   
  
  It seems like doing a normal click might actually load the MIDI file, but it
  loads in another pane of IE, and while it probably sounds nice in my office
  back in California, it doesn't do me much good here. I don't see any option
  to be able to save the MIDI from this copy of media player embedded into IE.
  
  Thanks for your help...
