MIDI FILES

go to Meloware's Antique Phonograph Record Archive homepage

This collection of midifiles have mostly been created from old sheet music and band arrangements from the 19th and Early 20th Centuries. The sources have come from material I have found myself. Most of them were produced on an old XT almost 20 years ago. These files originally were posted on dial up bulletin boards.If you wish to obtain old printed scores and sequence them yourself, I suggest checking out the following links.
