Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves, Britons never never never shall be slaves. The nations, not— so blest as thee, Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall: Must in, must in, must in their turns to tyrants fall. While thou shalt flourish, Shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. Refrain: Still more majestic shalt thou. Description: Rule Britannia words were from a masque by James Thomson, about Alfred the Great, set to music by Arne. It became popular as a patriotic tune which is played and sung every year at the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Arranged for easy Piano with note names. Download includes version without note names. Skill Level: 1 out of 9.
All of the following MIDI files have been entered by myself, most ofthem using the software “Cakewalk apprentice”. I believenone of them has a copyright pending (classical music pieces are, ofcourse, too old for that, and the ones I composed myself I put in thepublic domain).
All these files use Roland's General Sound patches; but generally itmakes no difference if they are played with General Midi patches (theyare more standard — the mail difference is that“orchestra” becomes “orchestra hit” which isnot quite right). My music card is Creative AWE32, and these fileswill probably sound best with it, but they will certainly sound OKwith the Gravis Ultrasound or similar cards. If you have a non-AWESoundBlaster card, I would advise using timidity (and a fast computer)to play the files through the DSP: using the FM synthesizer chip, nomatter how smart your patches can be (and even if you have an OPL-3)will just not sound right. In fact, it will sound awful.
These files are “General MIDI”, that is, they use the full16 channels, with the 10th channel for drums. So if you useCreative's play utility (on MS-DOS), remember to set theenvironment variables correctly for that.

Classical music
Arch-famous
If you haven't heard these already you must have been spending yourlife on a desert island somewhere - or perhaps do you live on Mars.
- The Pachelbel Canon (6′46″,36.3k) —Here is Yet Another Version of this very famous piece ofmusic, the D-dur kanon by Johann Pachelbel.This is a rather romantic version of it, that would probably not havepleased Pachelbel himself; but then I never managed to find a truebaroque score of this piece.
- The Wedding March (2′01″,6.6k) —This is the Hochzeitsmarsch taken from FelixMendelssohn-Bartholdy's music for Shakespeare'sMidsummer-Night's Dream (Musik zuShakespeare's Sommernachtstraum), two-hand piano version,played here on the organ.
- Pomp and Circumstance(1′23″, 4.3k) —This is Edward Elgar's first Pomp and Circumstance military march,also known as Land of Hope and Glory, or sometimes just as “thatenglish theme”. This is a rather edited version of it where I havethe winds play the theme first and the strings afterward (that soundsbetter on most music systems).
- An Elise (3′46″, 7.5k) —This is Ludwig van Beethoven's An Elise pianopiece. I followed very faithfully the original score here.
- Turkish March (3′02″, 15.9k)—This is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Rondo allaTurca (from one of his piano sonate). This also follows veryclosely the original score, but with a few midi goodies (such aschanging the kind of piano when the theme changes).
- Greensleeves to a Ground(6′12″, 59.8k) —The famous variations on the popular song Greensleevesplayed as a canon on many different instruments, and with an ostinato.Note that this is not Ralph Vaughan William's (also very famous)Fantasy on Greensleeves.
- Prelude in C major (1′37″,3.7k) —Johann Sebastian Bach's arch-famous prelude in C major, first of book1 of the Wohltemperiertes Klavier(Well-Tempered Clavier). Follows the exactly theoriginal score, and played on the piano.
- Rule Britannia! (1′25″,8.5k) —Another famous “english theme”, the english (as opposed tobritish) national anthem, in fact, I believe. The composer is ThomasAugustine Arne (1710–1778), and it is taken from his balletAlfred. I transcribed a score which is probably quite“authentic” whatever that means. Anyway, this is ratherdifferent from Origin's Ultima version of this music.
Less famous
- Dead March (4′04″, 12.0k)—Marcia Funebre sulla Morte d'un Eroe, from oneof Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonate. This is quite well-known, butprobably not nearly as much as Frédéric Chopin's similarpiece.
- (Beginning of) Tannhäuser's Overture(2′17″, 13.6k) —This is a very faithful transcription of the first few bars of theoverture of Richard Wagner's Tannhäuseropera, with a pretty complete symphonic orchestra playing (so yourmusic system had better be up to it!). Unfortunately, I got fed up ofentering this score pretty soon so it ends rather abruptly. But whatis there is really worth listening to.
- Notturno (0′46″, 1.5k)—For those who know only the Wedding March (see above) of FelixMendelssohn-Bartholdy's Sommernachtstraum, I suggest listening to thisthoroughly beautiful notturno. Just close your eyes, think about themoon, and relax. Unfortunately, this midi file is also incomplete(but it does not end too abruptly). This is the two-hand pianotranscription.
- Two-Part Invention n.14(1′16″, 4.0k) —Johann Sebastian Bach's Two-Part Invention number 14, follows exactlythe original score, and played on the harpsichord.
- Two-Part Invention n.4 (1′00″,3.3k) —Johann Sebastian Bach's Two-Part Invention number 4, follows exactlythe original score, and played on the harpsichord.
- Two-Part Invention n.6 (0′42″,2.1k) —Johann Sebastian Bach's Two-Part Invention number 6, follows exactlythe original score, and played on the piano.
- Prelude in D major (1′18″,4.6k) —Johann Sebastian Bach's prelude in D major, from book 1 of the
divine machine àcoudre
(divine sewing machine
). - Ariel's song (1′22″, 5.2k)—This song accompanies Shakespeare's Tempest(“Ariel: Full fathom five thy father lies”, act I, scene2). I found it in the Oxford edition of the play.
- Signor Abbate (1′17″, 2.5k)—This is canon by Ludwig van Beethoven (uncertain); it's supposed to bea song but I play it on the clarinet, violin and cello here.
- Les Baricades Mystérieuses(2′29″, 5.7k) —This is one of the many harpsichord pieces by FrançoisCouperin. It is called Les BaricadesMystérieuses. Normally I don't really like baroquemusique, but I make a special exception for Bach, Händel andCouperin.
- La Castelmore (3′55″,15.1k) —This is another harpsichord piece, this one by Claude-BéningeBalbastre.
- Suite (2′27″, 5.9k) —This is the Allemande (I think) from JohannSebastian Bach's French Suite number 2.
- Dance (1′05″, 4.2k) —This is the dance of the Elves of Mendelssohn's Sommernachtstraum.Unfinished.
- Pomp and Circumstance n.4(1′16″, 7.1k) —In case you didn't know, there's more to Elgar's Pomp andCircumstance marches than number one, above. Here is number 4,in the same style, but much less famous.
- Berceuse (1′02″, 3.5k)—By Johannes Brahms.
- Tanzsatz zu Vier Stimmen(1′58″, 6.8k) —I think this is by Telemann, but I'm not certain. Very baroque at anyrate.
- Remplis ce verre vide(1′20″, 6.6k) —A popular renaissance french wine song.
- Quand je bois du vin clairet(0′32″, 3.2k) —Another popular renaissance french wine song.
Music I composed...
...so you should expect it to be barely listenable, and veryrepetitive...- Poem to Nature (2′09″, 6.6k)—This piece is composed in the pentatonic mode (because it's mucheasier to compose something that doesn't sound too bad in that modewhen one is, like I am, totally ignorant of music).
- Variation on a Canon by JohannPachelbel (2′08″, 17.9k) —This is a very free adaptation of the Pachelbel Canon (seeabove for a version that is closer to the original), in a much moremodern style.
- A Simple Piece (1′50″, 9.4k)—This is a simple canon-like piece that hopefully doesn't sound tooawful.
- Gil-Galad's Tune (0′31″, 2.0k)—This is the way I imagine the music of the song “Gil-Galad was anElven King” in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
Music I would like identified
I don't know what these are, they were themes I kept hearing in myhead, and which I couldn't identify. I don't think I composed thembecause I'm uncapable of writing anything that nice. However, I didorchestrate them and that is why we have these beautiful themes with aridiculous orchestration (or none at all).
Anyhow, if somebody can tell me what these are, he will earn myeternal gratitude.
- Majestic Theme (1′21″,4.7k) —I really like this one. It sounds like the music one wouldplay when a king enters the room.
- Unknown Tune (1′12″, 3.6k)—I have no idea what this one is. Somehow it sounds like a kind ofcounterpoint to the previous one.

Britain is 300 years old, and if it were a man it would be currently going through it's 'mid-life crisis'.

Great rack
Comment by StuartWright
Love it. Can't agree more about the 'strum it on a guitar' comment. You've got a lot of obvious influences but your own sound.
