Midi music arrangement:

A proposal for a music arrangement can be heard in midi on your computer (if you have a sound card). (I have not played the tunes here with the "drive" I want for dance music). I have chosen different musical instruments in general midi to play the arrangement as given in the table below.
It is a big problem how the instruments will sound on different sound cards: probably quite disappointing. And it may sound very different on different computers. So I have mostly chosen very few instruments here. But it gives an impression of change of instruments. For a real orchestra I would choose somewhat different from here. (And for a given computer I would forget about the names of the instruments, and just choose among the computer sounds).

The tune is played 8 times here (with its repetitions), see the table below. The principle is possible shift of instruments for down to only 2 bars. The arrangement starts with improvisation parts, working towards the melody the 3' time. (The 7' time (with n3 part) is named to be accordion in general midi!) The last time all the different parts (voices) are combined here, for you to hear the harmonies work together.
