Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy


Elijah - Part 1

Part 2 is on the next page

There is a competent performance of this Work by the Boston University College of Fine Arts and the BU Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Chorus, conductor Ann Howard Jones, on YouTube starting here.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work.

These Midis can be played either using a conventional Midi Player, such as Chris Hills's MidiPlay or the Windows Media Player, or using Choral Music Tutor, which is a web app that plays MIDI files. Choral Music Tutor runs on any device - any Desktop PC (Windows or Mac), Tablet (Android or iPad) or Smartphone (Android or iPhone) - that can browse the internet. It is not an app that you have to download or install. In the Table below, "CMT" loads the UNemphasised version; an individual Voice can then be emphasised by clicking the Emph toggle button (the volume can also be adjusted with the slider).
