Default Re: When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again

Due to technical difficulties on my end, I've asked Sherry to upload the MP3 file for this song. The reason for adding the MP3 file is so folks can hear what the arrangement sounds like when using the midi choices I made for my Clavinova. I have finally come to understand that if I want you folks to hear what I hear, I should be using General Midi (GM), not changing to midi sounds I want to hear on my final target for the song.

For this score, the only two non-GM tracks are the flute, which seems to play okay on my GM sound card, and the drums, which, on my PC, sound correct except for the drum roll in the intro and closing. The flute, in my Clavinova midi selection, is much breathier.

So, the MP3 file, whereas not as full as a WAV file, produces a more true sound of what the song sounds like on my Clavinova.
