J S Bach


Easter Oratorio

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work (Versions A, B and C of No: 2, "Come swiftly, and hasten", are those identified in the New Novello score; No: 11, "The strife is o'er, the battle done", is an optional Chorale, and is a transposed version of Cantata 130):-

Remember:   the emphasized Files may not play properly with Windows Media Player
I recommend playing them with Session, but Chris Hills's MidiPlay is also good .        
If you want a Player with PlayList facilities, I suggest either van Basco's or WinAmp .
If you're a Mac User ... you could perhaps try Roni Music's Sweet MIDI Player .       
For more about these several Players, see Playing Midi Files              .
