Files "cleaned" originally (?)

Herbert Howells


Hymnus Paradisi

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work. Several of the Sections run one into the next without pause; however, in these Files each Section's File finishes where the Section ends.
In Section 2 - Requiem Aeternam - one or more Choir 1 or Choir 2 Voice is further subdivided into upper and lower parts; this has NOT been done here, where both parts are together in the same Voice File.
In Section 4 - Sanctus - the Semi-Chorus Sopranos and Altos sing at the same time as their Full Chorus counterparts, and so have their own Files (immediately below the Full Chorus Files). However, in Sections 5 &  6 - I heard a voice from heaven/Holy is the true light - the Semi-Chorus is simply a subset of the Full Chorus; accordingly, the Files below make no especial distinction between Full and Semi, which do not sing separately at the same time.
