- Short: Russian Easter Overture .MID

- Just in time for Eastern Orthodox Easter (1997) here's Rimsky-Korsakov's
- Russian Easter Overture, which uses melodies from the Russian Orthodox
- service.
-
- All instruments are intended to be played on the Proteus 2 unless the track
- name begins with "Roland", in which case they are for the JV1080. These
- instruments are the Tuba (using the Orchestral ROMcard program) and the
- Glockenspiel (using the JV1080's GM program).
-
- Proteus 2 owners, please note that I've remapped the Trombones program
- to 71.
-
- There are program changes in the Norns track; 36=mp French Horn, 37=ff
- horn, and 38=is a horn section, mixing these samples.
-
- To minimize the number of tracks and channels used, I've done some
- track-sharing of programs as follows (even so, 18 channels are needed; you
- may succeed in reducing this to 16, but will probably have some polyphony
- problems. This sequence represents a compromise between shoehorning everything
- into 16 tracks and giving every program its own track:
-
- Solo Violins track switches to Pizzicato Cellos (program 14) from bars 12-16 and
- from bars 502-513 and to Pizzicato Violins (program 16) from bars 237-244 and 630-644.
- It shares a channel with Tremolo Violins (program 19)
-
- The Violins track switches to string harmonics (program 104) from
- bars 203-214.
-
- The Pizzicato Basses track switches to Solo Violin from bars 524-538.
-
- The Basses track switches to Violins from bars 203-214.
- (Remember that the Proteus 2's basses and piccolo programs are transposing:
- they sound, respectively, and octave lower and an octave higher than they
- are written and appear in the sequencer's score. Transposing instruments
- have been transposed to C.
