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 4 times here, see the table below. It starts with the melody and then follows the improvisations. (The 3 start bars are not included in the table below the first time).
