The following files are resources for St John the Theologian parish choir. The “PDF” files are Adobe Acrobat documents of sheet music, viewable with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. The “MIDI” files (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) are files which your computer can play back to generate sound; it will probably sound like a cheap electronic keyboard. (The audio is stored in this format because it is very compact.)
If you are having trouble playing the MIDI files, try downloading the Windows Media Player. Some users of Microsoft Internet Explorer may experience difficulty playing the MIDI files; in this case, try right-clicking the link and selecting “Save Target As...” and save the file to your hard drive. Then you should be able to play it locally.
