Files "cleaned" originally

Georges Bizet

Carmen

PROVISIONAL VERSION - BEING UPLOADED ITEM BY ITEM

You can freely and lawfully download several different printable scores for this Work from IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library - though none may be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, and probably none of them will be as good as a proper paid-for engraved and printed score.

There is a full opera performance of this Work by Carlos Kleiber and the Vienna Opera (1978) on YouTube starting here. I recommend you watch this!

On the face of it this Work does not have any choral part for Contraltos. So, to stop the "A" section(s) of the conventional SATB (or SSAATTBB) Chorus getting very bored, in these Files when in the Score the Sopranos are divided into 1st and 2nd Sopranos then the 2nd Sopranos notes have been given to the Altos (the notes are on occasion a bit high, but the Altos ought just about be able to cope). However, when in the Score the 1st Sopranos are themselves divided then those notes are split between the Sops 1 and 2 Files, while when the 2nd Sopranos are themselves divided then those notes are split between the Altos 1 and 2 Files.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work. Note that the Files were prepared for use with an English translation of the libretto, and thus that to fit the different words some notes have been split into two or more smaller notes which, though separate, may, in the translation's associated score, look tied or slurred.
