Edward Elgar

The Apostles (Part I)

Part 2 is on the next page

You can freely and lawfully download a printable score for this Work from IMSLP - the Petrucci Music Library - though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, and it probably won't be as good as a proper paid-for engraved and printed score.

There is a competent performance of this Work, all two hours of it, by the London Symphony Chorus and the London Symphony Orchestra (Roderick Elms - organ), under Richard Hickox, on YouTube starting here.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work. Note (a) that because of the relatively large number of Voices but the limited possible Midi Channels some of the latter are doubled up, which means some notes for the former may not always sound quite long enough, and (b) that this Work is very operatic, and although an attempt has been made to render the score with all the appropriate changes in dynamics and tempi and instrumentation it may not always get it right. And finally, note (c) that most of the individual actual portions of the Score run on into the next portion, without a very convenient stopping point, so each corresponding Midi portion as identified in the Table may similarly be slightly merged with the preceding and/or the succeeding portion. Good luck!
