Here are 16 chorals from J.S.Bach in MIDI Synth format. The "raw" MIDI files
were uploaded to the Internet news group alt.binaries.sounds.music by
Mauricio Fabbri last fall.

The raw MIDI files were translated to MIDI Synth format by my program
MIDI Surgeon, which will be published in the Jan/Feb 1994 issue of GS+ 
magazine. To subscribe (magazine w/disk: 3 issues - $20; 6 issues - $36) or 
to purchase back issues ($9.50; $6.50 for disk only), write to

Any GS musicians...please feel free to reassign instrument the sequeuce
tracks. Most have a "switched-on" feel to them, but I'm not entirely
happy with all of the assignments.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
   To Helmut Walcha.  "Connoisseurs" will recognize his influence
   in some of the transcriptions.

Those are GENERAL MIDI files.
If your setup does not conform to the General Midi patch configuration,
you MUST find patches similar to the ones used in the pieces.
The chorals will sound like GARBAGE if you change arbitrarly, say,
a flute by an acoustic guitar...
I included the patch names in the comment fields inside the midi files.

The patches, controllers and note velocities sound very good through
my WaveBlaster setup, with Sony SRS-58PC speakers (oh, yes, it's sad,
but even the speakers do have a strong influence in the final result).
For the GUS, you'll have to adjust some patches and velocities.
I have no idea how this would sound in a more conventional midi setup.

Anyway, they should sound like Heaven Music, if you manage to set things
right enough.

Enjoy.

Mauricio Fabbri.
